Illinois - As anticipated, the Governor of Illinois has decided to sign HB3659 and new nexus law will take effect on July 1, 2011. HB3659 is similar to the laws passed in other states. It will now require some out of state merchants (non-Illinois merchants) to collect and remit sales tax on purchases made by Illinois residents if the merchant has Illinois affiliates or publishers. Governor Pat Quinn is seeking to balance his state's budget, level the playing field for in-state merchants and, improve collection of sales tax through improved enforcement of existing sales and use tax laws.

Arizona - Arizona Affiliate Nexus Tax

HB 2551 was introduced on 02/02/11 by Representative Weiers. It is modeled after the New York style affiliate nexus tax. This will impact Arizona affiliates and out-of-state merchants who do not have a physical presence in the state.

The House Commerce Committee heard the bill on Wednesday February 16th. The state retail association testified, as did two local Arizona retailers, in support of the bill. And Rebecca Madigan from the PMA testified in opposition. As was expected, the bill passed unanimously by this committee, since the bill author also chaired this committee. It now moves to the House Rules Committee, for detailed analysis by the Department of Revenue. It must pass this Rules Committee before being sent to the House floor for debate and vote. This is expected to happen within the next 2 weeks.
