Proposal Would Strengthen WA Distracted-Driving Laws

(Olympia, WA)  --  A bipartisan bill to strengthen Washington's distracted-driving laws is being introduced in Olympia.  The measure is sponsored by Republican Senator Ann Rivers of La Center and House Democratic Representative Jessyn Farrell of Seattle, who says "driving while under the influence of electronics needs to be stigmatized."  Current law makes it illegal to text while driving, but this bill would make it illegal to even touch your phone while behind the wheel.
