Plain-English Summary

The federal government would be required to create rules banning passengers from making voice calls on their cell phones during flights on commercial airlines. This would apply to all scheduled passenger flights traveling between states or within a single state, protecting both travelers and flight crews from disruptive phone conversations at high altitudes. The Transportation Department would be responsible for developing and enforcing these regulations.
