Worries in China after End of One-Child Policy

New York Times (Feb. 9, 2016): Chinese Who Violated One-Child Policy Remain Wary of Relaxed Rules, by Kiki Zhao:

Before China dismantled its one-child policy, couples who violated it often could not surmount the hurdle of obtaining the registration document (hukou) necessary for their second child to attend state schools, receive health care, marry, open a bank account or even buy train tickets.  Now that hukous have been declared a right of all citizens and the one-child policy has been lifted, parents are still worried that they will be required to pay a fine for violating the one-child policy when it was the law.   Municipal governments throughout China have not been clear or uniform in their messages about whether fines will be imposed retroactively.
