DISTRACTED DRIVING MONTH

This bill declares April 2024 as Distracted Driving Awareness Month in Illinois to highlight the dangers of activities like texting or using GPS while operating a vehicle. It directly affects all drivers, businesses, and residents by encouraging them to pledge to practice safe, distraction-free driving habits during the month. The resolution urges cooperation among the public and employers to prevent motor vehicle injuries and deaths, aligning with a national safety campaign. Ultimately, the measure serves as a symbolic reminder rather than establishing new laws or penalties.
