Cell phones in construction and school zones
(Garrett, D-Lake Forest; May, D-Highland Park) allows a driver in a construction or school zone to use a cell phone in voice-operated (instead of “voice-activated”) mode or by pressing a single button to initiate or terminate a voice communication. This also includes using a headset in this manner. The drop date for the Governor to take action is August 5, 2012. If he signs it the bill will take effect January 1, 2013.
