50:54Now PlayingTwo bipartisan press conferences at the Capitol Monday, January 14, outlined proposed law changes meant to deter distracted driving. Senate Transportation Committee Chair Scott Newman, R-Hutchinson, and House Transportation Chair Frank Hornstein, DFL-Minneapolis, described a bill that would require drivers to use hands-free technology while operating a vehicle.
Following that news conference, Senator David Osmek, R-Mounds, and Representative Bob Dettmer, R-Forest Lake, spoke about their measure that would increase fines and penalties for distracted driving. Their bill, which would allow drivers to hold a cell phone, calls for an increase in fines for texting while driving, expanded driver education and increased penalties when distracted driving results in severe bodily harm or death.
