PAUL MILLER’S LAW TAKES EFFECT JUNE 5

Beginning June 5, 2025, Pennsylvania’s new distracted driving law, known as Paul Miller’s Law, makes it illegal to use a hand-held cell phone or other interactive mobile device while driving. This includes when your vehicle is temporarily stopped at a red light, stop sign, or in traffic.

What You Need to Know:
✅ Hands-free use is permitted (Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, voice commands)

❌ Holding your phone in your hand while driving

❌ Texting, scrolling social media, or browsing the internet

❌ Dialing or answering calls by pressing more than a single button

❌ Using your phone while stopped in traffic or at a red light

🚨 Drivers may be stopped solely for violating this law.

Enforcement:
• June 5, 2025 – June 5, 2026: Written warnings issued

• Beginning June 6, 2026: Violators may receive a $50 citation plus court costs and fees.
