BILL NUMBER:S1511 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to prohibiting the use of mobile telephones by operators of motor vehicles who hold learner's permits PURPOSE: This bill would prohibit the use of mobile telephones by operators of motor vehicles who hold learner's permits.
