Plain-language change summary

The recent change to Bill SB 210 clarifies that individuals with certain restrictions, specifically those issued under Section 6-107, are prohibited from using a wireless phone while driving on a roadway. Previously, the wording was slightly broader and did not specify "on a roadway." This tweak is important because it emphasizes safety for drivers who may already have restrictions, ensuring they are fully unable to use their phones in these situations, which could help reduce accidents and improve overall road safety.
