SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Until now, adults over the age of 21 were legally permitted to have their phones in their hands while driving in Missouri.
Missouri is one of only two states in the nation without a law specifically prohibiting texting and driving for all ages, the other state being Montana.
That is about to change in August 2023, however, with the passing of Senate Bill 398, or “Siddens Bening Hands-Free law.”
