Louisiana Bill

In support of this national campaign, SB98 has been proposed that will ban phone usage while driving. According to Louisianaradionetwork.com the bill passed in committee without objection and has already received Senate approval.

The goal of this bill is to act as a "backup" for schools to fall back on and essentially be able to say, "It's a state policy, not get upset with us." The hope is that Sen. Bill 207 will give school leaders the confidence to enforce a 'No Phones in the Classroom' policy without having to take the heat entirely.

The bill successfully cleared a House panel on Tuesday according to Rep. Dixon McMakin House Bill 97's primary objective is to "enhance pedestrian and motorist safety" across Louisiana.
