The legislation authorizes the governor’s Office of Administration and Finance to set the fee for the licenses and allows authorized agents to sell the licenses and charge an additional fee for the service.

Wonder what that means, specifically on the fees.

What a mess. It is sad when the best is made of a crappy situation like when fishing people work on a license that is at least palatable versus what would have been shoved down our throats by a likely uninterested legislature.

One state, CT, passes way early a somewhat palatable license with cheap fees, only to pass a short while later increased fees.

RI Legislature passes a palatable version worked on hard by local anglers and the Govenor, heart in the right place, vetos the legislation. If he vetos the legislation but chooses not to fight it with the Feds, it is a Pyrrhic victory at best.

Ma House of Reps has passed the palatable version put forth ny Mass anglers (thumbs up to Pat & Chucky) and in this article, the legi-dweebs are already rubbing their hands together waiting to appropriate the appropriations.

This is Ridiculous. Call that a hard foul?

I don't disagree. I call total bull%$%$%$%$ on this John. Wasn't the license fee supposed to pay for implemetation and support of the program? Now we got to pay extra to places to sell the license? Who lobbied for this. Friggin state hacks.

They can do this now, when you obtain a freshwater, hunting or combined license:

In fact, if you get your freshwater license from a town hall, they must charge you an additional buck.

Chapter 131: Section 17A. Municipal processing fee for sale of licenses

Section 17A. Any city or town clerk issuing any license under the authority of any provision of this chapter shall, except as otherwise provided by law, charge a municipal processing fee of one dollar, and where applicable retain such fee; provided, however, that such fee shall be in addition to the fee provided under section seventeen of this chapter. Any other person duly authorized by the director to issue licenses at their place of business, provided such persons are duly bonded, may charge a service fee of up to one dollar and fifty cents for the sale of each such license. No person issuing any license under the authority of this chapter shall make a charge for the issuance thereof nor charge any service charge if no fee is required to be paid for the issuance of a license. The director is authorized to enter into agreements for the sale of licenses through other means that shall be subject to a service charge which shall be determined annually by the secretary of administration and finance under the provisions of section three B of chapter seven. The director shall cause to be printed and otherwise published upon its licenses and within its publications a notice of the fees charged pursuant to this section and section seventeen.

You should know that a store who is set up to take credit cards has to pay a fee to use a card right? A store has every right to recoup those costs
