Interesting drafting glitch in Kauai's new electronic device ordinance which states "No person shall operate a motor vehicle while using a mobile electronic device." The ordinance defines "use or using" as "holding a mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle." Thus, no person shall operate a motor vehicle while holding a mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle.

I also see that "digital photographic device[s]" are included among the electronic devices the new ordinance bans. Interestingly then, digital photography is explicitly barred to drivers while old fashioned film photography is not.
