Jurisdictions aren t paying, just demanding info. Jim Bellows and other regulators stated the case of jurisdictional preeminence in this matter. Not a matter of convenience how data is passed, but what data is collected. He feels strongly that jurisdictions should have control over what is collected, though he wants balance and fairness in deciding how it is collected. Jim Bellows said that he didn't believe we have a consistent EDI standard for any practical purposes.
Every state does their own thing.
In EDI you determine the what based on the how. If we don t allow carriers to participate in discussing how it will work, we ll end up with garbage. Glenn Morton supported carrier participation. No standards on versions, etc. We need carrier participation.
