New Cell Phone Law Update....


Got an update from Bill Ruh, Government Affairs Director of Citrus Valley Association of Realtors.......on the new cell phone law....here's what he had to say:

"The law that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Friday Sept 16, banning motorists in California from holding cell phones while driving does not take effect until July 1, 2008, but the governor is urging drivers to begin complying now.

Under the law, motorists will be required to use a headset, speaker phone, ear bud or other device that frees up both hands when they talk. Motorists who need to make emergency calls are exempted. Violators will be fined $20 for the first infraction and $50 for subsequent violations."

Bill, You're Very kind to take the time to clarify this......

I hope that this helps to clarify things.
