H.R. 49 · 108th Congress

Internet Access Tax bill

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Passed the House without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 108th Congress ended.

Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act - Amends the Internet Tax Freedom Act to prohibit a State or political jurisdiction from imposing: (1) Internet access taxes; or (2) multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce.

What it does: CRS summary · Passed House amended · Sep 17, 2003

(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on July 24, 2003. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act - Amends the Internet Tax Freedom Act to prohibit a State or political jurisdiction from imposing: (1) Internet access taxes; or (2) multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. Eliminates: (1) the definition of a tax that is "generally imposed and actually enforced"; and (2) from the definitions of "tax on Internet access" and "discriminatory tax" the exception for a tax generally imposed and actually enforced prior to October 1, 1998. (Makes the existing tax moratorium permanent and applies such tax prohibition to all States, thus ending the existing authority of certain States to tax Internet access.)
