H.4822 would prohibit citizens from using a hands-free electronic communication device unless it is in voice-activated mode only, in other words does not require the driver to use a hand to activate it.

Since 1986 the South Carolina Policy Council Education Foundation has advocated innovative policy ideas that advance the principles of limited government and free enterprise. The Policy Council is the state’s meeting place for business leaders, policymakers, and academics – as well as engaged citizens – who want to see South Carolina become the most free state in the nation.
