On September 23, 2011, California Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 155 (Calderon) into law. This bill repeals the California Affiliate Nexus Law (ABX 128) which was a near death knell for many California affiliate marketers. However, the law is repealed for only one year but it is hoped a better, more equitable plan will be developed in the interim.  This is a welcome event for the estimated 25,000 affiliate marketers, including myself, that had been adversely affected by the implementation of ABX 128. It is also an encouraging sign for affiliate marketers in other states that have similar laws on the books or being planned.

Amazon has already sent emails to its former California affiliates encouraging them to re-establish their accounts with them.  They managed to save everything so doing so is a very easy process.  You can read more about it here.
