A bill in the state House would make it illegal for people to hold their phones while driving. If the measure becomes law, drivers caught holding their phones while behind the wheel would face a fine of up to $200.

The bill was introduced by Republican Rep. Rosemary Brown, who represents portions of Monroe and Pike counties. It would outlaw holding a phone even if the driver is using GPS on the device. GPS use would be permitted only if the phone is attached to a docking station or other surface.

The law would be even more restrictive for drivers under the age of 18, who would not be permitted to use a phone in a vehicle even if it is stopped. Drivers and older would be allowed to use the phone if the vehicle is not in motion.
