A 130 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to drivers of school buses using hands-free mobile telephones

This bill prohibits drivers of school buses carrying students from using hands-free mobile telephones while operating the vehicle. The law allows for exceptions in emergency situations or when the bus is parked away from a public highway for purposes other than dropping off or picking up students. Additionally, the restrictions do not apply to emergency responders, police officers, or other authorized personnel performing their official duties. The changes will take effect sixty days after the bill becomes law.
