Forty-six states ban text messaging while driving.

Missouri is one of the few that don’t, banning only those under 21 from texting behind the wheel.

A pair of bills being heard Monday evening in the House Public Safety Committee would expand the ban to all drivers. The bills would prohibit anyone from sending, reading, or writing a text message while driving.
