Louisiana Proposal Would Ban Use of Cell Phone While Driving
A Louisiana House committee has approved a ban on motorists using hand-held cell phone users while driving.
The transportation committee approved the bill by Rep. Austin Badon, a New Orleans Democrat, with a 12-3 vote.
Badon sponsored a similar bill last year that failed to make it through the Legislature.
