FRANKFORT (01/14/26) — The Kentucky Senate’s Transportation Committee advanced two bills on Wednesday: one would ban drivers in Kentucky from holding their cellphones in their hands while their vehicle is in motion or face a fine. Exceptions would include use of hands-free technology in vehicles, CB or business two-way radios, and making emergency calls. The other measure would allow local government entities to issue renewals or duplicate operators licenses, instead of requiring people to go to one of the regional license offices. Both move to the Senate floor for consideration.
