This law could have possible reprecutions on ham op's and users of part 15 equipment as well as pirate broadcasters.I feel the FCC should be the only ones responsible for policing the airwaves. not already over taxed public safety system and officers who are not properly trained in matters relating to radio.http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2006/Bills/S1000/729_I1.HTM
 
Re: first fla. now nj-FROM THE MINISTRY OF SILLY LAWS?

Is this law required to fix a widespread problem?NO! There is no widespread problem.Will enforcing it take personnel, money and resources away from other more urgent obligations such as public safety, homeland security, etc.?YES!Is it needed?NO! The FCC and Federal laws already regulate this "problem" adequately.Is this law a total waste of time, energy, resources and manpower?YES!Is it enforceable?NO! Millions of FM transmitters connected to iPods, MP3 players and satillite radios are already in use and millions more are being sold each year. Thousands of small transmitters cross New Jersey boarders each day.THIS A SILLY LAW CONTRIVED TO SATISFY THE NEW JERSEY BROADCAST LOBBY.A SOLUTION LOOKING FOR A PROBLEM.
 
think about it....if a state legislature is able to supersede federal regulations on broadcast enforcement, why can't they
then also have the power to license broadcasters within their own state? (provided it can be shown that the transmitter cannot be recevied across state lines). The whole thing could put the existing FCC authority into limbo if it ever reached the Supreme Court. If a state ever decided to try it things could get real interesting.
