CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Lawmakers have passed a bill aimed at helping Nevada collect more tax revenue from online retailers.

The bill creates the presumption that a company should collect and pay sales tax to the state if they have some physical presence in Nevada, unless they prove that their activity in the state is negligible.
