The legislature let die a bill last session on banning texting for all drivers. It is unlawful for minors only, at the present time.

Legislative update: The House and Senate both will consider 2012 bills that seek to ban text messaging by all drivers in Missouri. Both were prefiled in mid-December 2011.
