(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Senate has again passed a bill that would penalize motorists who handle a smart phone while driving. Republican Senator Mark Lofgren of Muscatine says it hopefully will reign in distracted drivers.
The bill has passed the senate in previous years and the vote on it Tuesday was 47-1. The bill now goes to the House, where it has stalled over the past several years. Governor Kim Reynolds used part of her annual address to lawmakers in January to call on them to send the bill to her desk this year.
