The final bill, which was signed into law in February, instead required large online retailors to start collecting sales taxes or provide a summary of people's web purchases in the state.

Eh, so what? Even if I had to start paying sales tax on stuff at Amazon, I will probably still find things cheaper there AND without spending hours of wasted time and energy plus extra gasoline driving all over the place trying to buy something that isn't available from a local retailer no matter how much tax I'd be paying on it here.
I've actually paid slightly more for some things purchased through Amazon than I might have paid at a local Wal-mart, sales tax included, simply because it was worth it to avoid trekking all over creation trying to find the one store that had that specific item in stock.
