(Harrisburg, PA) June 5th, 2025 is when Paul Miller’s Law will be effective in Pennsylvania, which prohibits anyone from using phones or devices that are handheld while driving. Police will still pull someone over if you look at your phone on your lap or on the seat for the passenger. Calling first responders for an emergency is one of the exceptions of the law. Governor Josh Shapiro signed the law in 2024, making Pennsylvania the 29th state to put a ban on driving distracted.
