The Montana Legislature adjourned sine die April 29 after passing the state budget and policies to regulate and tax marijuana sales.

The Republican majority focused attention on numerous socially conservative causes including abortion, transgender rights, and bills decreasing the power of local public health and the executive branch during a health crisis.

The Legislature’s most lauded achievement was passing $120 million in tax cuts over the next two years.

The Utah State Legislature adjourned sine die its special session on Wednesday, July 18.

Nine bills were passed, most notably a compromise between the Legislature and Salt Lake City Council on the controversial Utah Inland Port Authority project.

Senate Bill 2001 also passed, which requires businesses to collect online sales tax revenue for the state.

However, most of the expected revenue was earmarked earlier this year for tax breaks for manufacturers in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on online sales tax collection.

The New Hampshire Legislature will convene a special session on July 25, 2018, to address the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding the collection of tax for online sales.

Prior to the ruling, businesses only needed to collect and remit sales tax if they had a “physical presence” in the state.

The aim of the special session is to get lawmakers to pass a bill that will protect New Hampshire businesses from having to collect and remit sales taxes imposed by other states.
