Senate may vote on sales tax fairness bill next week

The U.S. Senate may vote on the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 (S.336) as early as next week. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) plans to bring the bill directly to the floor for a vote without first referring it to the Senate Finance Committee, as reported by The Hill. Sen. Reid filed a motion on April 16 to initiate the process of putting the bill on the Senate calendar.
