Mind you, the bill appears to be the brainchild of one Congressman, with no cosponsors, which suggests that it probably won't come anywhere near becoming law.
It apparently is either law or accepted practice in Japan. Though they don't use GSM there, so that's unlikely to have anything to do with your Nokia.

I thought this was already law? I certainly can't turn off the noise on my Nokia phone, even though it is insanely loud and clicks at least a second after the photo has actually been taken.
