Anyone citing the enactment route or date of Kentucky HB 757 — the substantive sales-tax measures it carries are unaffected.
No action — monitoring only. The 1 August 2026 Kentucky changes themselves are unaffected.
Correction to the two Kentucky entries in issue 2026-W30, which stated that House Bill 757 was "signed into law 2 April 2026". The Legislative Research Commission record for 26RS HB 757 shows the bill was delivered to the Governor on 2 April 2026, that the Governor issued line-item vetoes on 13 April 2026, that the General Assembly overrode those vetoes on 14 April 2026 (House 66-18, Senate 31-5), and that the bill was delivered to the Secretary of State the same day as Acts Chapter 161. There is no record of an affirmative signing; the bill became law through the veto override. The substantive measures reported in 2026-W30 — the USD 100,000 revenue-only economic nexus test under KRS 139.340 and the taxation of data-brokering services under KRS 139.010, both effective 1 August 2026 — are unchanged.
What changed in detail
House Bill 757 (2026 Regular Session) became law through a veto override, not a gubernatorial signature. The Legislative Research Commission record for 26RS HB 757 shows:
- delivered to the Governor on 2 April 2026
- line-item vetoes issued on 13 April 2026
- vetoes overridden on 14 April 2026 — House 66-18, Senate 31-5
- delivered to the Secretary of State the same day as Acts Chapter 161
There is no record of an affirmative signing. Earlier coverage described the bill as “signed into law 2 April 2026”; that was the delivery date, and the bill was vetoed in part eleven days later.
The substantive measures are unchanged: the USD 100,000 revenue-only economic nexus test under KRS 139.340, and the taxation of data-brokering services under KRS 139.010, both effective 1 August 2026.
What it means
Nothing about what to charge or when changes here. What changes is what you cite.
Enactment route matters where it is litigated or where a filing has to name how a provision came into force — a line-item veto that was overridden leaves a different record from a clean signature, and the parts of a bill that were vetoed and restored are exactly the parts most likely to be contested later.
The two substantive changes are recorded separately: economic nexus and data-brokering services.
