📱🚔 PAUL MILLER’S LAW TAKES EFFECT TOMORROW 🚔📱
Beginning June 6, 2026, Pennsylvania’s Paul Miller’s Law moves from the warning phase to full enforcement. Drivers who are caught using a handheld mobile device while operating a vehicle can now face a citation and a $50 fine, plus court costs and fees.
Under this law, it is illegal to hold or use a handheld phone while driving—even when stopped at a red light, in traffic, or at a stop sign. Hands-free technology may still be used, and exceptions exist for emergency situations.
Paul Miller’s Law was enacted in memory of Paul Miller Jr., who was tragically killed by a distracted driver. The goal of this law is simple: save lives and reduce preventable crashes caused by distracted driving.
Before you put your vehicle in drive:
✅ Put your phone away
✅ Set your GPS before leaving
✅ Enable hands-free features
✅ Keep your focus on the road
No text, call, notification, or social media post is worth a life.
Help us keep our roads safe. Put the phone down and drive responsibly.
