The Cities of Tuscaloosa, Montgomery and Hoover announced on Wednesday that they were voluntarily dropping the suit.

The debate over Alabama’s online sales tax law continued on Thursday ahead of the start of the legislative session next week.

After years of good-faith efforts to ensure Mobile gets a portion of sales tax generated from online sales, the city announced it is joining in a lawsuit against the commissioner of the Alabama Department of Revenue.

“AEA will be involved in the lawsuit to secure tax revenue for the ETF,” the organization's legal team said.

The Association of County Commissions of Alabama passed a resolution last week encouraging legislators to oppose any legislative changes to the state's online sales tax law, Simplified Sellers Use Tax program.

The city of Tuscaloosa plans to sue the state over how Alabama’s online sales tax law is divided up between counties and municipalities.

The Alabama House of Representatives will deliberate today on two bills: one to raise the state's online sales tax from 8% to 9.3% and the other to provide a one-day tax holiday on certain recreational supplies.
