You are correct, Darren. Quite a few states passed legislation in their spring sessions that took effect today (10/1). A few others updated their sales and use tax regulations to reflect Wayfair. A couple (sorry, I don't have the details in front of me) failed to include de minimis clauses, so all remote sales in those states are supposed to have tax collected.
Here in MD, the law addresses "marketplace facilitators" (e.g., eBay, Etsy), allowing them to collect and remit the sales tax on behalf of the seller.
