The Nevada Board of Examiners has approved a policy banning employees from texting or using electronic devices while driving state vehicles.
Gov. Jim Gibbons, Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and Secretary of State Ross Miller were unanimous in their support for the ban.
Officials say it won’t apply to emergency personnel or law enforcement.
The 2011 Legislature is expected to consider bills prohibiting the general public from texting and using cells phones while driving.
