Plain-language change summary

The latest version of HB 333 clarifies that municipalities can create specific rules about using cellular phones while driving in school zones or on school property. Importantly, it specifies that these local rules can allow for hands-free phone use, ensuring drivers are not completely prohibited from using their phones if they are using hands-free devices. This change could help enhance safety in school areas while still allowing for some flexibility for drivers.
