“Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation into law Wednesday, making it illegal to drive while holding or using a cellphone.
Michigan has become one of 26 states to pass so-called hands-free driving legislation meant to curb distracted driving and related crashes. The Michigan Legislature sent three approved bills to the governor’s desk last month for final approval.
Gov. Whitmer signed the legislation into law on Wednesday, June 7. The new rules could take effect as soon as June 30.”
