## Resource

Arizona’s deadly distracted driving crisis has sparked bold new laws: repeat offenders now face $400 fines and possible license suspension, with an extra $150 penalty for crashes involving motorcyclists—a deeply personal push by Rep. Teresa Martinez, whose son was injured in such an accident. The law also bans live-streaming or recording while driving, even without holding the device, aiming to make safety the top priority and slash accidents and fatalities across the state.
