A bill that would ban texting while driving is headed to the Senate floor after clearing its last committee stop unanimously.
The measure (SB 52) was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday, bringing a years-long debate closer to an end.
“Hopefully, we’ve gone beyond public support into public frustration that we haven’t passed something,” said Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, the bill’s sponsor. “I think this is the year.”
The House companion (HB 13) is also ready for the floor.
