The ban on texting while driving is expected to come up for a vote at the Legislature on Wednesday, after members of both bodies reached a compromise.
Three members from the House and three from the Senate met on Tuesday to discuss what versions of the texting while driving ban they will agree on to send back to the bodies for a final vote. They agreed on leaning toward the House’s version, which applies to all drivers; the Senate’s was geared toward those with beginner’s permits.
But there is a holdup as lawmakers work on clearing up a technicality. Once that’s done, the bill will go back to both bodies for a vote.
