Yes, but the Morse code requirement went away. A Technician license (basic, 35 question test) grants a bit of space on 28 MHz (right above the CB range) with up to 200W, plus all voice and data above 50 MHz. A $25 Baofeng 144MHz radio from Amazon will outperform a GMRS radio, and the Ham can improve the antenna and run up to 1500W.

The 'sitting fee' for a test (or all three tests) is about $15, the license is good for 10 years, and is renewed without further testing.
