Transportation

HB 2263 prohibits using cellular telephones or electronic devices while driving on specific road segments, directly affecting drivers who use phones in those areas. The bill removes the previous exception for zones where workers are present and changes the effective date to November 1, 2025 (from July 1, 2026). It establishes penalties for violations and allows municipalities to enforce stricter local ordinances. The law applies to all road segments designated under the bill, not limited to construction zones.
