however, instead of outlawing only texting while walking, the new
laws
state using ANY electronic device while walking is against the law
and
violators will get fined over two hundred dollars for doing such. And
unlike the driving laws, there are NO exceptions for ham radio or cbl
radio in these states laws against using ANY and ALL electronic
devices while walking.

I'd like to see the text of such legal codes.
What states and where did you get this story?

It is ridiculous on the face of it. If your wris****ch is electronic, you
could get a $200 fine for checking the time while walking.... Or, how about
listening to a radio while jogging? Or using a heart rate monitor while
jogging?
