This will be about as successful as the law many years ago (early 1970s??) that CB radio (27 Mhz - before VHF CB) operators must obtain an operator's license. It was legal to own a CB radio without a license, but the fine was $10,000 to operate one on HF without a License.
One of our own PPRuNe users of note was importing shipping containers of the things!
What a stunning failure that was, whilst licensed amateur radio operators were being hammered for compliance with regulations.
Never heard of VHF CB. I think you mean UHF. And when I first started out with 27Mhz CB's in the early 70's it was necessary to have a license.
