Jurisdiction	Position	Comments
Support: 19 Oppose: 0 Undecided: 2
BRITISH COLUMBIA	Support
CALIFORNIA	Undecided	The Jurisdiction of California is Undecided with this ballot as it is written for the submission of the proposal. California supports the intent of the ballot and agrees that protecting our carriers’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is important to mitigate the risk of fraud. In addition, we find it favorable that it is up to a jurisdiction’s discretion to limit the IFTA fuel tax license number on the physical license or not. However, we agree with the other jurisdictions who voiced that the language in the ballot should be revised. California is concerned about how this will affect law enforcement verification of the proper credentials and if this change will create other limitations. This may also negatively affect jurisdictions not displaying PII by having to change their internal processes.
ILLINOIS	Undecided	Illinois is leaning toward supporting the ballot. Since Article P200 deals with establishing accounts and not display, new P250 is not necessary. Instead of adding P250 we suggest amending P310 as follows: P310 License The IFTA license shall be approximately 3-1/2 x 8-1/2 inches (9 x 21.5 centimeters), of a uniform format, and shall contain, but not be limited to, the following information: .100 Base jurisdiction identification; .200 Licensee's name and address and DBA, if different from owner, partner or corporate name; .300 Licensee's account identification number, or the last four digits of the account identification number, or a randomly generated number that corresponds to the FEIN or SSN account identification number; and .400 Expiration date (month, day and year). Should P250 remain, we suggest revising the language as follows: P250 To mitigate the risk of fraud and to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII), member jurisdictions may limit the display of the Federal Employer Identification Number, Social Security Number, Canadian Identification Number, or Base Jurisdiction Assigned Number to the last four digits of that number on the IFTA License or a randomly generated number that corresponds to the FEIN or SSN account identification number as specified in P310.300. These display methods do not affect the requirement to include the complete account number of each licensee on the Licensee Demographic Data in accordance with Article R2110.200 of the IFTA Articles of Agreement or on the Incoming Billing Transmittals in accordance with Section P1040.150 of the IFTA Procedures Manual. Also, an issue with searching by the last 4 digits will arise in IFTA Demographics. Currently, the search only pulls up any 4 digits in an account number which generates a lot of irrelevant results. The search function would have to be updated. Also, it should be noted that the first two digits are letters corresponding to the jurisdiction and the last two digits are a suffix usually 01 or 02. Utilizing last 4 digits only provides 2 usable digits for search and identification purposes.
INDIANA	Support	Indiana supports the ballot, but with the following recommendations: Remove sentence 1, in lines 3 through most of line 6. This sentence is more appropriate as an explanation in the ‘Intent’ section of the ballot and is not necessary in the proposed language. The terms ‘Licensee Demographic Data’, and ‘Incoming Billing Transmittals’ are not defined elsewhere in the Articles, and should not be capitalized.
Industry Advisory Committee	Support	IAC is in support of protecting tax payer personally identifiable information (PII).
KANSAS	Support	Kansas supports this ballot. I agree that protecting PII is an important aspect of the services provided by a Revenue Service. Kansas does not display the social security number on the IFTA license. The social security number is requested for internal purposes only.
KENTUCKY	Support	Protecting PII is important.
MANITOBA	Support
MARYLAND	Support	Maryland supports this ballot.
MICHIGAN	Support	We support protecting PII and therefore agree with this ballot. However, for U.S. jurisdictions that use fleet identifiers, an additional two‑digit suffix is added to the carrier identification number. Wouldn’t this require displaying the last six digits instead of just the last four? *P210 FEDERAL EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS For U.S. jurisdictions, the subsequent nine characters will be the Federal Employer Identification number of the licensee issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Jurisdictions that establish fleet accounts shall identify each account with a fleet identifier in addition to the carrier identification number.
NEBRASKA	Support	Like WY we support this ballot becuase it is optional and we do not accept accounts being setup under a SSN. We would continue to print the full EIN on the IFTA license.
NEVADA	Support	We support protecting PII of our Taxpayers, and NV does not accept or display the SSN. We will support the ballot as optional. One concern of reducing to the last four numbers, is the impact to law enforcement when validating their credentials, if a member jurisdiction chose to limit the display. Additionally, we agree with North Carolina, Quebec, and Illinois that the language for the modification on the license, should be placed under section P310.
NEW BRUNSWICK	Support
NORTH CAROLINA	Support	North Carolina supports the general intent of the ballot. However, language modifying what must be on a license should be placed under P310. This allows the language to be clearer and more succinct. North Carolina would support the following language (underlines and strikethroughs are not applied): P310 LICENSE The IFTA license shall be approximately 3-1/2 x 8-1/2 inches (9 x 21.5 centimeters), of a uniform format, and shall contain, but not be limited to, the following information: .100 Base jurisdiction identification; .200 Licensee's name and address and DBA, if different from owner, partner or corporate name; .300 Licensee's account identification number, or at the discretion of the member jurisdiction, the last four characters of the account identification number; and .400 Expiration date (month, day and year).
ONTARIO	Support
PENNSYLVANIA	Support
QUEBEC	Support	While the jurisdiction of Quebec supports the intent of the ballot, we also provide the following recommendations: - We suggest that the drafting be reviewed and that this new provision be replaced with an amendment to section P310.300. Alternatively, if section P250 remains as currently proposed, we are of the view that it should be moved to a section dealing with the information appearing on the licence (i.e., after section P320), rather than to a section dealing with account identification. - We would also suggest to review the interaction between the proposal and articles P220 and P230 of the Procedures Manual.
RHODE ISLAND	Support
SASKATCHEWAN	Support	IFTA licenses in Saskatchewan do not utilize any U.S. identification numbers and do not display any personal information of the carrier. However, as the wording reflected in the suggested changes of the ballot states that jurisdictions “may limit the display” of the IFTA license number and therefore is not a mandatory requirement, SK can support this ballot.
WASHINGTON	Support
WYOMING	Support	I support the ballot because it is optional. It is up to the jurisdiction if they want to list a partial Social Security number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the IFTA License. In Wyoming we do not accept SSN, so we will continue to print the full EIN on the IFTA License.
