GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA SESSION 2003 HOUSE BILL 257
RATIFIED BILL AN ACT TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF CITIZENS BAND RADIO
EQUIPMENT NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION.
The General Assembly
...

Federal law trumps state law no matter what side the state law
takes. Any normal judge would just say that a rule already exists
to address the issue so state level action is a waste of time and
taxpayers money.

The FCC passed juridstiction over to local/state level for
enforcement. they are well within thier rights.

But doesn't that just mean enforcing existing federal regulations? I
don't think local laws need to be passed for local enforcement of a
federal law. I could be wrong. I'm not a lawyer. :-)

Yes you are wrong,Local laws were passed giving them the right to enforce
FCC laws this passage from the beginning answers your question.

"AN ACT TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF CITIZENS BAND RADIO EQUIPMENT NOT
AUTHORIZED BY THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

ok, I'll wait and see. But it seems to me that's just RE-enforcment. A total
and complete waste of time and money on the part of the state to make rules
that are already on the books. There is no need for new laws when existing
ones will do the job just fine. To me, if the fed says bank robbery is
illegal, I see no reason for the local gov to make new laws to say the same
thing since they already have the right to enforce it.
I'm not saying that it's not going to pass. I'm sure there are pleanty of
people in NC that will say, "Oh, make illegal radios ILLEGAL. Sure, I'm for
that. Let's vote yes! on proposition bla-bla to make those terrible
"UN-LAWFUL radios into ILLEGAL radios...". It could happen. But I still
think it's still a waste of time.

ok, I'm done. ;-)
