Connecticut House Bill 6722House Bill 6722 (HB6722) was enacted on October 1st, 2005. This hands-free legislation requires drivers, 18 years of age and older, to use a hands-free accessory while using a cellular telephone or any mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle. Drivers under 18 years of age are prohibited from using any type of cell phone or electronic device even with a hands-free accessory. School bus drivers may not use a cell-phone or any other electronic device when the bus is moving. This includes any type of hands-free device. The only exception to this law is using a cell phone or other electronic devices in a emergency situation. HB6722 defines a mobile electronic device as any hand-held or other portable electronic equipment capable of providing data communication between two or more people, including devices for text messaging or paging, personal digital assistants, laptop computers, video games, DVD players or equipment on which digital photographs can be taken or transmitted. There are many choices for hands-free communication. Bluetooth Headsets and car-kits are two options for hands-free communication. Wired headsets are also a cost effective solution to hands-free cell-phone communication.
