Bill Summary
Relative to requiring the hands-free use of mobile telephones while driving. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill requires that drivers use mobile telephones in a hands-free manner, meaning they cannot hold the device while talking or operating it. Specifically, it amends existing law, Chapter 90, Section 13, by replacing the term "mobile telephone" with "hands-free mobile telephone" and adds a new subsection to Section 13B of the same chapter, explicitly stating that no driver can use a mobile telephone or electronic device unless it is operated hands-free. This change aims to improve road safety by reducing driver distraction.
