Interstate Commerce Simplification Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Representative Fitzgerald
Introduced
Summary
Broadens what counts as "solicitation of orders" under Public Law 86-272. The bill changes the statute so activity that facilitates solicitation is treated as solicitation even when it also serves other business purposes.
Show full summary
- Businesses: Companies that perform activities that help solicit orders may fall under PL 86-272's protections even if those activities also serve independent business functions.
- State tax authorities: States could be barred from taxing a wider set of in-state business activities because the anti-taxation rule now covers more facilitative actions.

Broader state tax protection for small sellers
This bill would expand what counts as "solicitation of orders." Out-of-state sellers would be covered even when an activity also serves another business purpose. If passed, more remote sellers could fall under limits on state income taxes in Public Law 86-272. That could lower tax exposure, audit risk, and filing costs for affected small businesses. The bill lists no effective date or sunset.
