Doubles penalties for using mobile telephones and portable electronic devices in work zones if committed with failure to move over.

New York Assembly Bill A04331 amends the vehicle and traffic law to double the penalties for using mobile telephones and portable electronic devices in work zones when such violations occur in the same incident as a conviction for failure to move over. The fines for first, second, and subsequent violations within 18 months are increased. The bill specifies that these violations are traffic infractions and outlines the corresponding fines for each conviction. This act will take effect 90 days after it becomes law.
