Legislation Outlaws Text Messaging While Driving



SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCBS)  -- The state lawmaker who wrote the hands-free cell phone law that goes into effect July 1 is going after people who text-message while driving.

State Senator Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, introduced SB 28 Thursday which would ban drivers from typing text messages and e-mails while driving.

If approved by the Legislature and signed by the governor, the bill would take effect Jan. 1.
