PAUL MILLER’S LAW TAKES EFFECT JUNE 5, 2026

Pennsylvania’s Paul Miller’s Law prohibits drivers from holding or using a handheld mobile device while operating a motor vehicle. The law applies even when stopped temporarily in traffic, at a red light, or at a stop sign.

Drivers may still use hands-free technology, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, voice commands, and mounted devices used in accordance with the law. Emergency communications remain exempt.

Beginning June 5, 2026, violations are enforceable as a primary offense, meaning an officer may stop a driver solely for a violation of this law. A conviction carries a $50 fine, in addition to court costs and other applicable fees.

Distracted driving continues to be a leading cause of crashes resulting in serious injuries and fatalities. Taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds can have life-changing consequences.

Before you drive, put your phone away, activate hands-free features, and focus on the road.

Drive Focused. Drive Hands-Free. Arrive Safely.

This Memorial Day, the men and women of the Lower Makefield Township Police Department pause to honor and remember the brave Americans who gave their lives in defense of our nation.

Since the founding of the United States, more than 1.3 million American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice protecting the freedoms we enjoy every day. Their courage and selflessness remind us that freedom is never free.

Here in Lower Makefield and Yardley, generations of local families have answered the call to serve our country. From veterans laid to rest in historic cemeteries such as Slate Hill and Washington Crossing National, to the countless members of our community who served in conflicts around the world, their legacy lives on.

On this day of remembrance, we ask our community to take a moment to reflect on those who never came home — the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen, and guardians who gave everything for democracy.

May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we always honor the families they left behind.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We are forever grateful. 🇺🇸
