Texting and driving are illegal and now in New York, texting while walking could be as well.
A bill in the New York State Senate aims to ban pedestrians from using any portable electronic devices while crossing the road with fines that range from $25 to $250.
The ban will include texting, checking emails, and browsing the internet, with unique case exceptions for emergencies.
The bill was brought to attention in the State Assembly last year by Assembly Member Felix W. Ortiz. State Senator John Liu also introduced a version in the Senate last week, hoping for bill advancement.
The bill must be approved by the transportation committees in the Assembly and Senate before it's allowed to come to a full vote.
