Traffic Offenses

Summary

The bill makes it illegal for anyone operating a motor vehicle to use a wireless communications device (such as a phone, tablet, or laptop) in a handheld way, except for limited emergency, navigation, or safety situations. Violations are treated as non‑moving traffic infractions, with a second offense within five years becoming a moving violation, and officers must record the driver’s race and ethnicity for annual reporting. The goal is to reduce crashes caused by distracted driving.
