The fines should be defined, and Section 2 is too overbroad for me.

The problem is that the bill doesn't just tackle manual use of phones.  It simply bans use of phones.

I'm all for a texting ban, but I'm not 100% on board for banning phone calls.

Doesn't this bill discriminate between tge rich--those who can afford hands-free sets--and the poor--those who can't?

Hands free sets don't cost that much.  If you can afford a car and a cell phone, you can afford a hands free set.  Again, I'm not sure I'm on board with banning manual cell phone calls while driving (although I am on board with texting bans).  But I don't oppose it for a monetary reason.

Under this law, someone could call 911 to report an accident and end up getting fined if they don't use a hands free set.  It needs a clause for emergency calls.  I'd prefer it to only ban texting.

Seeing no further debate, the following amendment shall be voted on.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 24-hour vote:

Is that clear enough or do we have to specify what an "emergency call" is?

Voting is now closed.  The AYEs are 4, and the NAYs are 0, with 1 not voting.  The AYEs have it, and the amendment is passed.

I'm between a NAY and an ABSTAIN vote right now.  It won't be an AYE from me how it is currently though.
