SPRINGFIELD, IL (KFVS) -
The Illinois House of
Representatives voted Friday to approve the ban the use of cell phones while
driving. The bill now heads to the Senate.
"Banning the use of cell phones while driving is nothing but government being
the ultimate big brother," said State Representative Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro).
"What's next? Banning the use of pens and paper or listening to music in
the car? Our government needs to stay out of our personal lives and focus
on governing not dictating."
According to Rep. Bost, the bill says that a person may not operate a motor
vehicle on a roadway while using a cell phone.
However, the ban will reportedly allow
drivers to use hands-free devices such as Bluetooth headsets and hands free
devices.
Exemptions are provided for the
following; use in emergency situations by public safety officials (such as
police, fire, EMS), HAM radio operators and truckers that use C. B. radios that
are not listed in Illinois' current texting while driving ban.
