Description
Provisional drivers; use of handheld personal communications devices. Eliminates the provision prohibiting a holder of a provisional driver's license to operate a vehicle while using a wireless communication device.

Under a different current law, all drivers, including those with a provisional driver's license, are prohibited from holding a personal communications device while operating a vehicle.
