City of Boise pushing ahead with hands-free ordinance

Posted on February 5, 2020

 

The Boise City Council discussed the hands-free ordinance that has been proposed Tuesday night.

All six members of the Boise City Council voted to move the ordinance to its first reading calendar.

Currently, the Boise Police can issue citations for distracted driving, including texting while driving.

If passed, drivers in Boise will only be able to use their phones in hands-free mode to avoid getting ticketed.

It would first start off as an education phase and officers would issue warnings before starting to issue citations.

CBS 2 News reports, there will be a first, second, and third reading of the ordinance. If approved, it would take effect on July 1st.
