Motor vehicles; prohibiting use of certain devices while driving. Effective date.
SB 57 amends Oklahoma's distracted driving law to prohibit using handheld electronic devices for texting, calling, or manually composing messages while driving. It reduces the maximum fine from $100 to $5 per violation, with additional court costs totaling up to $95. The bill specifies how these funds are distributed - covering court operations, prosecution costs, victim services, courthouse security, and highway safety programs. Violations will not add points to a driver's license record under this law.
