Under the bill, an out-of-state retailer that has annual gross sales into this
state in excess of $100,000 in the previous or current calendar year must register
with DOR and collect the sales tax on those sales.

Disclosure to state auditor
The bill allows the state auditor and Legislative Audit Bureau to examine sales
and use tax returns and related documents to the extent necessary for the LAB to
carry out its duties.
Other
Grants to businesses harmed by the pandemic
This bill creates a grant program administered by DOR to make grants to
businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the purpose of distributing the
grants, DOR will give preference to a business that did not receive a loan under the
federal paycheck protection program, has no more than 300 employees, and can
demonstrate that it had at least a 25 percent reduction in its gross receipts between
comparable calendar quarters in 2019 and 2020. The bill does not preclude a
business that received a PPP loan from receiving the grant, but DOR must give
preference among those recipients to businesses that have no more than 300
employees and can demonstrate the 25 percent reduction in gross receipts. The bill
prohibits a person who committed fraud from receiving a grant and requires that the
person pay back the amount of any grant the person may have received. The bill also
prohibits a payday lender and a person who outsourced jobs to another entity from
receiving grants. Finally, the amount of the grant is excluded from the recipient's
taxable income.
Payments from counties to towns
Under current law, during the period beginning on the third Monday of March
and ending 10 days after the annual town meeting, a county treasurer may not pay
to a town treasurer any money that belongs to the town and that is in the hands of
the county treasurer except upon a written order of the town board. The bill
eliminates this restriction.
