Jurisdiction Position Comments

ALABAMA
Oppose

ALBERTA
Undecided The ballot does not affect a Canadian jurisdiction. 

ARIZONA
Oppose

Audit Committee
Undecided The AC has no comment on this ballot.

BRITISH COLUMBIA
Undecided

CALIFORNIA
Oppose

CONNECTICUT
Oppose We oppose this ballot.  This is consistent with our belief that there are still unanswered constitutional questions associated with IFTA imposing an interest rate.

IDAHO
Support

ILLINOIS
Undecided

IOWA
Oppose

KANSAS
Undecided Kansas is undecided;  We agree these formulas would make it easier on most carriers to calculate the interest. 

MAINE
Oppose

MANITOBA
Undecided Same comment as Nova Scotia.

MARYLAND
Undecided

MASSACHUSETTS
Oppose

MICHIGAN
Undecided Still evaluating proposal

MINNESOTA
Oppose

Minnesota stand remains as with the prior interest ballot proposal.  We question the legal authority of IFTA imposing an interest rate, interest rates are set by the governing body not the administrative body.  In addition the new language is complex and confusing.


MISSOURI
Undecided Missouri is interested in ABM discussions. 

MONTANA
Undecided Uncertain what variations of the IRS rates will do when assessing audits.

NEBRASKA
Support

If there were a "neutral" category when commenting on ballots - Nebraska's position would be neutral.  Although we agree there may be some minor changes in the interest rate from year to year - who cares.  Jurisdicictions will have to be able to handle interest rate changes in their IFTA systems whether that rate changes annually or every few years.  It is true that this ballot would likely result in less changes  -     


NEVADA

NEW BRUNSWICK
Undecided

NEW HAMPSHIRE
Oppose

NEW JERSEY

NEW MEXICO

NEW YORK
Oppose New York feels this ballot needs to be amended for clarification and simplification.

NORTH DAKOTA
Undecided

NOVA SCOTIA
Undecided This ballot does not apply to Canadian jurisdictions as we are covered under R1230.200.

OHIO
Oppose

ONTARIO
Undecided

As a Canadian jurisdiction, Ontario is not subject to the same interest provisions. However, we have concerns whether the complexity of the language helps to simplify the requirement. We are not quite sure how this will be of benefit to the U.S. jurisdictions.


PENNSYLVANIA
