Texting while driving bill before the Missouri Senate
There is currently a bill before the Missouri state Senate that would prohibit drivers from reading or writing text message while operating a moving motor vehicle. The bill does not affect the use of a wireless telephone as a telephone by the driver. However, the bill preempts the field of regulating the use of all wireless communication devices in motor vehicles. In other words, in the future, no municipality could regulate the use of a wireless phone by the driver of a vehicle.
