Disclaimer: Canadian, so I don't know all the rules.

I think that a law like this is inevitable and in part fair. States like California have tons of tech companies which are contributing a huge amount of tax dollars to the states coffers. But they are selling goods and services to citizens in other states. Why shouldn't these other states get a grab at the revenue made from the citizens purchasing goods and services while in their state? While the internet is location-independent the purchaser of any item is not.
