Today the Michigan Senate passed HB 4394, a bill that bans texting while driving. The bill was amended on the floor to make texting while driving a primary offense.

Twenty states have banned texting while driving. The League is supportive of this legislation as are the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police.
