AN ACT CONCERNING HIGHWAY SAFETY.

Summary

The bill makes it illegal for anyone operating a vehicle on a Connecticut highway to hold or use a hand‑held phone, read or type texts, or watch videos unless the device is in hands‑free mode or the driver is dealing with an emergency. It applies to all drivers, with stricter penalties for commercial‑vehicle operators and special rules for school‑bus drivers. The goal is to reduce distracted‑driving crashes.
