According to the website at http://hr.blr.com/news.aspx?id=19173
The law goes into effect on July 1, 2008.
The law prohibits drivers from using a wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle unless the driver uses a hands-free device. Drivers who violate the law will face a base fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense.
