[NLRS] MN hands free cell phone law and roving

[Chris Elmquist]

Did some digging.  Looks like the bills are SF91 and HF50.  The
conference committee Report from 4/8/2019 is here,

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.php?number=HF50&version=latest&session=ls91&session_year=2019&session_number=0

and lines 1.22 through 1.27 state,

	(b) A wireless communications device does not include: (1) a device or
	feature that is permanently affixed to physically integrated into the
	vehicle, or; (2) a global positioning system or navigation system when
	the system is used exclusively that is only capable of being used for
	navigation purposes; or (3) a two-way radio, citizens band radio, or
	amateur radio equipment used in accordance with Federal Communications
	Commission rules and regulations.
