I disagree that this is a party in the sense that this is something that out of state retailers are getting away with. They have no constitutional obligation to collect a sales/use tax in these states because they have no tax nexus there.

It seems like the cribbed language from New York and California and hedged it against a constitutional challenge. Get the word out: affiliate marketing is a form of advertising; these bills are unconstitutional. On a somewhat positive note, "did not engage in any solicitation" means that merchants can have their affiliates not send out emails while this is being sorted out, rather than end the relationship to avoid nexus.
