Connecticut Bills Ramp up Penalties for Texting While Driving
A legislative committee is set to hear public testimony on several bills aimed at combating texting while driving in Connecticut.
Another bill would add $100 to each existing fine for using either a mobile telephone or mobile electronic device while driving a vehicle.
Lawmakers are also considering a proposal to make driving fatalities caused by someone texting or using a hand-held mobile phone punishable by the same penalties for fatalities caused while driving under the influence.
The legislature’s Transportation Committee has scheduled a public hearing for Monday on those and numerous other bills.
