Speliotis sees momentum for handheld cellphone ban for drivers

When the House finishes its deliberations on the state budget this week, the Legislature will have 13 weeks left to finish its formal business for the two-year session. A ban on using a hand-held devices while driving appears to be among the select items on the House's agenda for the final stretch of the session.
"That's one of the bill's that is gaining some momentum from members and I think it's something we're going to look at," Rep. Ted Speliotis, chairman of the Committee on Bills in the Third Reading, told the News Service. "Clearly that's something that has some support out there, so I'm sure we'll look at it after the budget."
