There are two different threads at WebmasterWorld that show publishers, advertisers and affiliate’s concern over a new proposed tax law in California.

The law, as understood in the thread, would potentially tax any seller who using AdWords to market their product or service. Moderator, incrediBILL, explained:

You can see the details about this tax proposal named AB178 and the hearing won’t be until April 13, 2009.

Some are very skeptical over the bill and they are not worried too much about how it might impact them.

Update: 5 Star Affiliate Blog has very good coverage of this concern. Well worth a read.
