YCT Nay. HB 63 would have put into statute a poorly conceived ban on texting while driving, increasing the size and scope of government, posing numerous civil liberty concerns, and putting into statute law that could not rationally be enforced by law enforcement officers. With close to 200 unique laws in place to restrict distracted driving, this bill would have acted only as feel-good legislation and have had disastrous secondary effects.
