Introduced by Rep. Matt Lori (R) on April 10, 2012, to prohibit an individual with a temporary drivers permit or a level 1 or 2 graduated licensing status (new drivers age 17 years younger) from operating a motor vehicle while using a cell phone. The violation would be a “secondary” one, meaning that a driver could not be stopped just for this, but if stopped for some other violation this one could be tacked on.
Referred to the House Transportation Committee on April 10, 2012.

Ummm...texting is already illegal. Shouldn't that have solved the problem? If not, apparently these laws are ineffective.
