AUBURN--Texting while driving may soon be banned in Cayuga County.
The Cayuga County Legislature Ways and Means Committee voted unanimously Tuesday night to fix a day and notice of public hearing on a proposed local law prohibiting text messaging while driving within county borders.
Those caught breaking the law would be fined up to $150 for each violation. It would go into effect 60 days after it becomes law.
The full Legislature will consider the measure at its meeting on June 23.
If the Legislature moves forward on it, a public hearing concerning the proposed local law is expected to be held on July 28 at 6:30 p.m. in the County Office Building, 160 Genesee St., Auburn.
