Here's a news item from the Associated Press:  BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A House committee will take a little more time before voting on a bill bringing the state a step closer to taxing online sales. The House Revenue and Taxation Committee decided Tuesday to postpone its vote on a bill authorizing the Tax Commission to study tax code changes needed to impose a 6 percent sales tax on Internet sales. Those revisions are necessary for Idaho to join 22 other states that collect revenue from online sales across state lines from major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and Target. House Majority Leader and Star Republican Mike Moyle said he was concerned about spending money to revise and simplify the tax code. The Senate passed a similar bill unanimously earlier this session. But the House committee introduced its own version because all tax legislation traditionally starts in that panel. The House has killed three similar attempts since 2007.
