This bill proposes updates to section 28-914 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning the use of portable wireless communication devices while operating a motor vehicle. It introduces new language that specifies the penalties for violations, increasing the fine for a second or subsequent violation from a range of $150 to $250 to a fixed amount of $400. Additionally, it establishes a new penalty of $150 for violations that result in an accident involving a motorcycle.

The bill also removes the previous provision that allowed for warnings to be issued until December 31, 2020, and clarifies that the regulation of portable wireless communication devices is a statewide concern, thus prohibiting local governments from enacting conflicting regulations. The language that previously indicated the regulation would not be subject to further local regulation after December 31, 2020, is retained, ensuring consistency across the state.
