Summary

The bill makes it illegal to hold or use a wireless communication device—such as a cell phone, tablet, or smartwatch—while operating a motor vehicle on public streets, highways, or vehicular areas. It applies to all drivers, with higher fines and insurance points for repeat offenses and a misdemeanor charge for school‑bus operators, while still allowing use in emergencies, for official duties, or when the device is built into the vehicle.
