SACRAMENTO – Assemblyman Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) will hold a press conference on Monday, March 3, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. in the Governor’s Press Room (Room 1190), to discuss developments on Assembly Bill 45 (which requires California drivers to use a hands-free device when talking on a cell phone while driving), including new data from the California Highway Patrol and the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis.
The Assembly Transportation Committee will hear AB 45 later that afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in Room 4202 of the Capitol. Simitian says he is now “cautiously optimistic” about the bill’s chances of getting out of Committee after two previous efforts came up one vote short.
