There's a bill in the works to limit driver's cell phone use on State
Highways.  Obviously this doesn't go far enough to maximize safety
benefits for bicyclists, but it is an important start.  So far, only
Rep. Terese Berceau, D-Madison, has signed on as a co-sponsor.  

The bill is AB-890.

You can help by contacting your state assembly representative today and
urging them to support AB-890.
