AN ACT CONCERNING TEXTING WHILE DRIVING.

SB 373 amends Connecticut's statute 14-296aa to increase fines and penalties for drivers who cause injury to others while texting behind the wheel. It directly affects drivers convicted of causing injury through texting while driving, imposing higher financial penalties and up to six months of license suspension. The key provision modifies existing penalties to strengthen consequences for this specific dangerous behavior. This bill focuses on concrete policy changes to the legal penalties for texting-related injury incidents, without altering broader driving laws or safety programs.
