TheDay.com - State in holding pattern on saltwater fishing licenses.
The state
Department of Environmental Protection suspended sales of saltwater
fishing licenses Friday, both through its Web site and the special
terminals at many town clerks' offices and bait shops.
Freshwater fishing and hunting licenses are still available through the DEP site and the terminals. Until Friday, the saltwater licenses were also being sold in anticipation of a saltwater license law taking effect June 15, but Gov. M. Jodi Rell has not yet acted on the bill.
DEP spokesman Dennis Schain said the license sales were suspended due to “technical issues” but would be available “immediately” if Rell signs the bill. It is not yet at her office, a Rell spokesman said Tuesday.
”We're ready to go,” Schain said.
If Rell does not sign the bill, the $10 license fee will be refunded to those who have already purchased the license, Schain said.
I want my $10!!!
