Plan to fine drivers holding pets in their lap heads to full Illinois House
CHICAGO (CBS) - Transport can be tricky when it comes to pets.
Most animal owners know keeping pets' passengers and out of the driver's seat can be a task.
Now an amendment to a bill moving through the Illinois House would mean a $50 fine for anyone driving with a pet in their lap. It's meant to prevent distracted driving.
The measure passed committee and now goes to the full house for consideration.
