Nevada Hands-free Law Outlaws CB Mobile Usage

I find this disturbing, I hope this law dose not gain traction and spread.
The Nevada legislature passed and the Governor signed Senate Bill 140: http://www.leg.state.nv.us/Session/7...B/SB140_EN.pdf
which was meant to outlaw the use of texting devices and cellular phones without a hands-free device. Unfortunately, this poorly crafted law outlawed CB and other non-licensed services such as MURS and FRS. It also severely restricts Amateur Radio mobile operations. So, if you're traveling through Nevada, do not operate mobile as you can be pulled over and fined pretty heavily after January 2012.
