My understanding is that with HAM, the operator is licensed; but, the equipment doesn't have to be certified. With CB, the operator isn't licensed; but, the equipment does have to be certified. Since ham equipment is not certified, it cannot legally be used to broadcast over CB channels.

It would be possible to certify that part of ham equipment which can be modified for use with CB; but, it's economically impractical...cheaper to buy additional CB equipment.
