Bill > S0152

This bill, titled the "Minor Traffic Safety Act," aims to enhance road safety by introducing several new regulations and educational requirements. It prohibits individuals under 18 years old from operating a motor vehicle while using any wireless communication device or telephone, with exceptions for emergencies. The bill also mandates that driver improvement schools and traffic law and substance abuse education programs must include content on the risks of using electronic devices while driving. Furthermore, it allows for voluntary $1 or more contributions on motor vehicle registration forms to support the Auto Club South Traffic Safety Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to improving traffic safety. A significant provision restricts drivers under 18 from carrying more than three passengers under 18 unless accompanied by a driver aged 21 or older, with exceptions for immediate family members.
