Representative introduces distracted-driving texting bill (RSo759)
Summary
Representative Yaukala introduced RS number RSo759, a distracted-driving texting bill presented on behalf of a Kansas constituent, and the committee accepted the introduction without objection.
Representative Yaukala introduced a distracted-driving bill, RS number RSo759, to the Committee on Transportation and said he was filing it on behalf of a Kansas constituent, Todd Linder.
Representative Yaukala described the proposal as “a bill distraction while driving, texting.” The chair asked whether the sponsor was introducing the measure on behalf of anyone; Yaukala replied that he was introducing it on behalf of a Kansas constituent and named Todd Linder. Committee members asked no substantive questions and the bill was introduced without objection.
The committee record shows only the RS number (RSo759) and the sponsor’s statement; no fiscal note or full bill text was presented during the introduction. The committee moved on to a separate bill hearing later in the session.
