Distracted Driving Bill HB181 Awaits Senate Vote — Advocacy Update #11

Had thought we might have HB 181 the Distracted Driving Bill heard in the special session of the Senate this morning which was held from about 9:45 to a little after 11 when they adjourned until Monday.

Not so, however, as it was Passed By for the Day for the third straight session, and only Uncontested bills wee heard.

While being Passed By for the Day is never a good thing, we still may be OK on this one as the Senate really has a backlog, but there still is a week to go, so we are not yet right up to the deadline.

Since we have this additional opportunity, it wouldn’t hurt to put in another call or EMail to YOUR Senator whose contact info you should know by now, asking them to be sure and support HB181 when they finally get a chance to hear it.
