Section 1 [Solicitor] amends Minnesota Statutes, section 297A.66, to provide a definition of “solicitor” to include residents in the state who directly or indirectly refer potential customers to a seller through an Internet website or similar link for a commission or other consideration.  The presumption is that a retailer has nexus if the total receipts of sales to Minnesota customers generated by Internet referrals made through websites operated by Minnesota residents exceed $10,000 in the last 12-month period.  The language also provides for a rebuttal of that presumption.

[Effective date] makes this section effective for sales and purchases made after June 30, 2012.
