FL S0090

Removes the "secondary offense" restriction, allowing law enforcement to stop vehicles and issue citations for texting while driving as a primary violation, not only when another traffic violation has occurred.

Redirects all fines collected for texting while driving violations to the Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund within the Department of Health, rather than general state revenue.

Requires law enforcement officers to inform drivers stopped for texting while driving of their right to refuse searches of their wireless communications devices.

Repeals the previous requirement that texting while driving enforcement be accomplished only as a secondary action during stops for other traffic violations.

Takes effect October 1, 2018.
