There have been other threads that touched upon this sales tax issue in the past. It probably doesn't have anything to do with new taxes being passed in any of these states. What likely occurred is that Heritage opened an office or started paying someone in those states, giving them nexus in those states now to have to start billing and collecting sales tax.
Or, those states are modifying their sales tax nexus rules to more or less copy those of South Dakota from the recent Supreme Court ruling in the South Dakota case against Wayfair. This just came out a few months ago., back in June I believe. In fact, I know for certain that Michigan already went ahead and modified their sales tax nexus requirement to more or less agree with the South Dakota rules, effective 10/1/18. Not sure of the reason for the other states listed, but for someone as big as Heritage, it will most likely end up being subject to collecting sales tax is pretty much every state that has a sales tax, sooner than later.
