Specialist,
There are some logistics that have to be worked out with the current software contractor however I am lead to beleive that in the end we will be able to go on line or go to point of sale locations just like we do now for the fresh water license.
I also a told that the goal which is not yet worked out in the software, is to be able to buy the salt water license on the same ticket with our hunting and fresh water fishing license.
The above will be difficut but is possible and almost automatically DQ's a "stamp" or even a "hip" number because the current system chanels all funds into the inland dedicated account and to do that with the marine license money would constitute a diversion and cause MA to loose it's federal funding. With federal funding the inland version is the Dingle Johnson Fund(no i'm not kidding) and the marine version is the Wallop Rowe Fund. Both could be administered on one ticket but the monies must go directly to the appropriate and separate State accounts or departments. Anything else is considered a diversion by the Feds and kils the funding.
