I thought this went on the books this past January. If this is not true, when will it be law?

Effective July 1, 2008, the legislation prohibits drivers from using a wireless telephone while operating a motor vehicle unless the driver uses a hands-free device. Drivers who violate the law will face a base fine of $20 for a first offense and $50 for each subsequent offense.
The law allows drivers to use a wireless telephone for emergency purposes, drivers of commercial vehicles to use push-to-talk phones until July 1, 2011, and allow drivers of emergency response vehicles to use a cell phone without a hands-free device.
This law will be strictly enforced. Will it be hard to enforce? Yes, very much so.

1st- the law is not in effect yet.
2nd- how would you know that it's not enforced?
3rd- is cell usage a reason to stop the driver, or a secondary citation?
