SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Drivers would not be allowed to use their cellphones while on the road under a measure the Illinois House endorsed Friday.

The measure would force drivers to use hands-free devices or a speaker-phone feature for calls while motoring. A 64-46 vote sent the legislation to the Senate.
