Anybody know the status of refunds for all of us who purchased licenses at the higher price? Are we really just gettin screwed or is there something in the works?

From what I hear it's supposed to show up as a credit when you go and purchase next years license (2011)

The bill also requires the DEP commissioner to reserve a credit for anyone who purchased certain licenses, stamps, permits, or tags between October 1, 2009 and April 14, 2010. The credit is the difference between the amount paid for the license purchased between October 1, 2009 and April 14, 2010 and amount charged on or after October 1, 2010, and will be applied against the fee for any license, permit, or tag purchased on or after October 1, 2010. It appears that the credit may be used any time after October 1, 2010.

"The Deficit Mitigation Plan (HB-5545) signed into law at 6:30 PM on April 14, 2010 reduced many of the fees for fishing licenses and permits. The new bill does not include provisions for making refunds for previously purchased licenses."

I was getting a "Deliverance" feel from this thread. Can you hear the banjos? Daa, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, daa. . . . Very Happy
