The state of Kansas is now cracking down on motorists who text and drive. A new law went into effect last July 1, 
but after a six month warning period, police will now enforce it.
The new law also makes it a violation to read or write email messages while driving. The new law does makes an exception for emergency weather alerts and reporting illegal activity. Drivers caught texting and driving, motorists could face a $60 fine plus court costs.
Kansas is one of 30 states that have enacted a no texting-while-driving laws.
