Bill Summary

CONCERNING THE USE OF MOBILE ELECTRONIC DEVICES WHEN DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.

AI Summary

This bill aims to restrict the use of mobile electronic devices while driving a motor vehicle in Colorado. It defines key terms such as "emergency," "first responder," and "mobile electronic device," and prohibits the use of such devices while operating a vehicle, except in certain circumstances such as contacting emergency services or during an emergency. The bill sets penalties for violations, including fines and license points, but provides an exception if the driver produces a hands-free accessory and affirms they have not previously had a charge dismissed under this provision. The bill also requires the state to create a public awareness campaign about the law and its dangers, and makes an appropriation to the Department of Revenue for implementation. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2025.
