A proposal before the Wisconsin Assembly Rules Committee would clearly forbid drivers from watching television while behind the wheel, Milwaukee’s WDJT TV reported.

Current state law already prohibits drivers from watching any device that receives a television broadcast if it’s located in front of the back of the driver’s seat – regardless of whether the device interferes with safe driving.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. Gary Bies, R-Sister Bay, would amend the law to prohibit drivers from watching any device located within the driver’s view that is capable of displaying a television, cable or satellite broadcast.

The bill, AB744, wouldn’t apply to dashboard readouts or other displays of information about a vehicle’s operation or conduct.
