6/11/10-Gov. Sonny Perdue has signed into law a bill that addresses distracted driving.
Previously SB360, the new law makes it illegal for all drivers to text while driving while heading down the road. Violators would be fined $150 with one point added to their driver’s license.
The new law is effective July 1.

4/30/10-State lawmakers spent time on the final day of the session Thursday, April 29, to finalize legislation that would ban texting while driving for all motorists.
SB360 calls for violators to face $150 fines and one point against their driver’s license. The fine would double if an accident results from texting while driving. Exceptions would be made for the use of CB radios or GPS navigation devices.
