In The News: School Zone Cell Phone Ban Just Needs Perry's Signature


Governor Perry could sign off on a bill Thursday that would ban cell phones in schools zones across the state.

If signed, House Bill 55 would go into effect by September 1st.

The act has already been passed by the house and senate and just needs to be signed by the governor. It would require drivers, including bus drivers, to use handfree devices while using their cell phones inside their vehicles.

The only exceptions would be if the driver is making an emergency phone call. The goal is to cut down on distracted drivers and accidents in school zones.
