This bill amends a 1959 federal law to broaden protections for interstate commerce by expanding what qualifies as "solicitation of orders" that states cannot tax. Specifically, it redefines the term to include any business activity that facilitates order solicitation, even if that activity serves other purposes beyond just taking orders. The change affects remote sellers and businesses engaged in interstate commerce by preventing states from imposing taxes on a wider range of their activities. The bill was introduced in April 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary Committee but includes no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines. The practical effect would be to limit state taxation authority over out-of-state businesses that solicit customers across state lines.
