The
Nebraska Roadway Safety Act, LB807, was introduced into legislature by Senator Harms of Scottsbluff to update and improve key traffic safety laws for Nebraskans.
The act will:
- Change safety belt law from secondary enforcement to primary and require all passengers to buckle-up including children.
- Change texting law for all drivers from secondary enforcement to primary
- Change provisions of the Graduated Driver's License Law from secondary enforcement to primary.
- Ban the use of cell phones by school bus drivers when the vehicle is in motion.
