Guys, please correct me if I'm wrong!!

From what I read, NY only eliminated the fees associated with the Saltwater license but you are still required to have one to fish NY waters. If that's the case and a NY resident has their "free" Salt license and NY has reciprocity with CT, why would they also have to purchase a CT non-resident license??

Now on a side note, does anyone know if they plan on giving those that already bought and paid for a licdense any rebate??
