CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Bills to outlaw texting and talking on cell phones while driving in Nevada will be discussed by a Senate committee.
SB145 would prohibit minors from using a cellular phone or other handheld device while driving, except in certain emergencies. SB140 would prohibit anyone from texting while driving, or using a handheld phone. Hands-free calling would be allowed.
The Senate Transportation Committee has scheduled a hearing on the bills Tuesday afternoon. The two bills are among about a half-dozen addressing cell phones and driving that are expected to come up during the 2011 Legislature.
