While state legislators are working to get a balanced budget, they are also creating, discussing and voting on legislation. A ban on texting while driving was one of Governor Mary Fallin's directives in her State of the State Address in February. State Senator John Ford said there's a real need for the legislation to be signed into law and that he sometimes scares himself while driving.

The bill was passed in the Senate Public Safety committee earlier this week by a vote of 8-0. It heads back to the house and then hopefully, to the Governor's desk.
