Summary

What the bill does

This bill would change how states can tax people who work in multiple states. Under the bill, only the state where a worker lives and states where they work more than 30 days in a year could tax their income. It also sets rules for employers on withholding and reporting taxes.

Why it matters

The stakes

This bill affects remote workers and people who travel for work, as well as their employers. It could simplify tax filing for many workers but might reduce tax revenue for some states.
