Matt's Law (distracted driving, Illinois)[edit]

In Illinois, Matt's Law refers to a number of proposed state statutes and local ordinances that arose from an incident involving Matt Wilhelm, a bicyclist in Urbana, Illinois who killed by a driver who was distracted downloading ringtones into her cellphone. There is no law in Illinois against commiting a homocide by driving negligently, so this is the most important proposed law to put on the books according to proponents. Also, it has been proposed that cell phone use should be banned outright on the state level and/or the local level. -Champaign (talk) 23:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt's Law (hit-and-run, Nebraska)[edit]

In Nebraska, Matt's Law refers to a law that makes it a felony punishable with five years in prison to leave the scene of any automobile accident in which there is an injury. This law was enacted after Bob Schmill carried on an aggressive campaign after his son, Matt Schmill died as a result of injuries from a hit-and-run accident and driver who fled the scene was only convicted of a misdemeanor. -Champaign (talk) 23:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The need for Matt's Law (disambiguation) and move this article to Matt's Law (hazing, California)[edit]

The above are two examples why we need an article called Matt's Law (disambiguation). Also, since the subject matter of this article is only about one case known as Matt's Law, it too should be under a parenthetical designation. If no one does anything about it by July, I may be in to do all this myself, I just don't have the time to do it now, so if someone else does, I would appreciate it. -Champaign (talk) 23:59, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
