Texting While Driving Bill Sponsored

August 3, 2009

The legislature in New York recently passed such a measure and sent it to the governor for a signature. Currently texting while driving is banned only in 14 states.

The federal bill would exert pressure on States by withholding federal highway funds if they do not outlaw texting and emailing while driving.
