Interstate Commerce Simplification Act of 2025
Sponsored By: Senator Ron Johnson
Introduced
Summary
Would broaden the ban on state taxation tied to “solicitation of orders” by redefining solicitation to include any activity that facilitates soliciting orders, even if that activity has other business purposes.
Show full summary
- Businesses that sell across state lines would gain wider protection from state income and franchise taxes for sales-related activities that only help solicit orders. They could claim the statute for functions that also serve other business roles.
- State tax authorities would have less reach to tax or assess companies based on in-state activities that courts or companies characterize as facilitating solicitation. That narrows when routine business functions can create taxable presence under the statute.
