	How does the new law apply to amateur radio devices? For example,
	trained storm spotters sometimes use hand-held and vehicle mobile
	radios during a weather emergency.

	Devices such as amateur radio, two-way radio and citizens band
	(CB) radio are exempt under the new hands-free law. The law does
	not define their transmissions as electronic messages, but users
	are still required to operate them with due care in a safe manner.
