Public Act 96-0131 makes cell phone use in school zones, texting while driving illegal

Public Act 96-0131, which went into effect January 1, 2010, prohibits any driver, regardless of age, from using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle on a roadway in a school speed zone or construction zone. Exceptions include using a phone in voice-activated mode, emergency use, use by construction workers engaged in highway construction or maintenance, and law enforcement personnel or emergency vehicle operators performing official duties.

 

Public Act 96-0130, also effective January 1, 2010, makes it illegal to operate a motor vehicle anywhere while using an electronic communication device to compose, send or read text messages, instant messages, and e-mail on a cell phone or use the Internet.  Personal digital assistants and portable or mobile computers are also banned.
