That is welcomed news! I also hope that merchants will act swiftly to reinstate the affiliates in Hawaii, it has been a long couple weeks for some. I just have to add, the websites for Hawaii Legislature and Governor are perhaps the best I have seen. Very easy to find information and stay informed, and the information is very current. I wish more states would follow your example. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to provide me with updated information.

However, neither chamber sought to override Governor Lingle's veto of HB 1405. As such, the so-called Amazon 'nexus' bill will not take effect. I hope that Amazon.com, and other online retailers restore the Hawaii affiliates' accounts as soon as possible, now that the last possible action on HB 1405 has been recorded.

I have some corrections for your commentary: Governor Lingle’s veto of SB 1678 stands, because the State House of Representatives did not join in the override effort.

However, neither chamber sought to override Governor Lingle’s veto of HB 1405. As such, the so-called Amazon ‘nexus’ bill will not take effect. I hope that Amazon.com, and other online retailers restore the Hawaii affiliates’ accounts as soon as possible, now that the last possible action on HB 1405 has been recorded.
