Citizens band radio temporarily installed on buses, requirements.

307.176. A bus transportation company shall allow the driver or operator of a bus* to temporarily install and operate in the bus a citizens band radio, technically limited to transmit and receive frequency of 27.065 megahertz and 27.185 megahertz, including earphones, antenna and any necessary equipment purchased and installed by the licensed driver or operator of the bus.

(L. 1982 S.B. 519 § 8)

*Word "bus" defined in section 578.300, RSMo.

(1984) Requirement that bus companies allow their drivers to use citizen band radios while operating a bus is preempted by federal statute which gives Secretary of Transportation authority to regulate use of CB radios on buses and therefore the statute cannot be enforced.
