AI Summary

This bill aims to establish the Police Training Trust Fund, which will be funded by fines collected for violations of the hands-free mobile phone usage law while driving. The bill prohibits the use of mobile phones for voice communications while driving, except in emergency situations, unless the device is being used in a hands-free manner. Violations of the hands-free law will result in fines, with the funds collected by state police being directed to the newly created Police Training Trust Fund to supplement the costs associated with training state police officers.
