AZ HB2343

Amends Arizona law to prohibit instruction permit holders (ages 15.5+) from using wireless communication devices while driving, except during emergencies when stopping is impossible or creates additional safety hazards.

Adds restriction on class G driver licenses (ages 16-18) prohibiting use of wireless communication devices while driving for the first six months of licensure, with same emergency exceptions as instruction permits.

Establishes enforcement provision that peace officers cannot stop or cite drivers solely for wireless device violations unless there is reasonable cause to believe another motor vehicle law violation has occurred.

Creates civil penalty structure for violations: first violation up to $75 with 30-day restriction extension; second violation up to $100 with 60-day extension; third or subsequent violation up to $100 with 30-day driving privilege suspension.

Restrictions expire on the licensee's eighteenth birthday, though any penalties or restrictions already imposed must be satisfied regardless of age; effective date is June 30, 2016.
