We've had this conversation before.
It is already only 2 comm bass from shore when having a rod and reel license. However the loop hole is if you have a comm boat permit then as of now, you can retain 15 from shore while using your boat permit.
Sounds like they are just making a clarification that it is 2 from shore period.
Not sure why this was ever the case. Rumored to be because of those certain canal days where all the fish are 20+ lbs and it would be a male. But that happens offshore too, who knows.
