The bill defines "remote sale" as a sale of goods or services into a state in which the seller would not legally be required to pay, collect, or remit state or local sales and use taxes unless provided by this bill. The bill also prohibits states from beginning to exercise the authority granted by this bill for a specified period after enactment.
