State Rep. John Carson, R-Marietta, presents the bill that would raise fines for distracted driving citations during a hearing before the House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee Monday afternoon, Feb. 3, 2020, in Atlanta. The fine for a first offense would rise from $50 to up to $100. If approved, House Bill 113 would be the first change to the distracted driving law approved by lawmakers two years ago. The law prohibited motorists from handling their phones while driving. (Bob Andres/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP)
