Relates to prohibiting the use of head-mounted portable electronic devices while driving
This bill prohibits drivers from wearing head-mounted portable electronic devices (like Google Glass) while operating any vehicle on public roads, including when temporarily stopped due to traffic. It defines "head-mounted" as devices worn on the head, ears, or nose (e.g., smart glasses) and creates a legal presumption that drivers holding such devices are using them - unless they can prove otherwise. The law applies broadly to all drivers, with specific exceptions for commercial vehicles stopped properly off the road. It amends vehicle and traffic laws to clarify prohibited devices and the circumstances of use.
