Iowa eyes hands free driving law to curb distracted driving
Brezina’s guilty plea and five year supervised probation highlight the dangers of distracted driving. Emily Johnson was convicted of reckless homicide for the October 2022 Burlington deaths, while lawmakers push Senate File 22 to ban handheld device use unless voice activated. The bill would raise fines, suspend licenses for serious cases, and include farm equipment exceptions amid broad backing from law enforcement and safety groups.
