LANSING -- Today was a victory for Bonnie Raffaele.
Two years after her daughter was killed in a car crash while talking on the phone, Kelsey's Law was signed by Governor Snyder.
The legislation applies to holders of Level 1 licenses, who must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or another licensed driver at least 21 years old, and those with Level 2 licenses, who can drive alone with some limits on hours and carrying young passengers.
It exempts Level 3 drivers, who have full priviledges.
Snyder was joined at the bill signing by family members of Kelsey Raffaele, the 17-year-old from the Upper Peninsula who was killed in a crash while chatting on her cellphone.
Governor Snyder called the legislation "very important."
