A bill banning personal devices like cell phones is on the way to Gov. Kemp’s desk after it passed the Senate nearly unanimously Tuesday

Handling a cell phone while driving will soon be illegal in Iowa. The Iowa House has overwhelmingly voted in favor of a bill to ban the use of electronic devices while driving, unless the device is in “hands free” or “voice activated” mode.

If passed, both bills would require school districts to create policies on when cell phones can be used and when they would be restricted.
