Bill > SF330

This bill amends various sections of the Iowa Code related to the use of electronic devices while driving. The key provisions are: 1. Removes the restriction on using a hand-held electronic device to write, send, or view electronic messages while driving, and instead prohibits the use of any electronic device while driving unless the vehicle is stopped or as far away from the center of the roadway as practicable. 2. Provides exceptions for certain individuals, such as public safety personnel, health care professionals, and those reporting emergencies, to use electronic devices while driving. 3. Requires a peace officer to issue a warning memorandum instead of a citation for a violation of the electronic device restrictions, but this provision is repealed on January 1, 2022. 4. Modifies the definition of "use of an electronic device while driving" to be considered prima facie evidence of reckless driving, with certain exceptions. 5. Removes the provision that violations of the electronic device restrictions are not considered moving violations.
