The lawsuit was prompted by new state legislation to allow the state to collect online sales taxesif such a lawsuit is successful.

A Senate committee approved a bill that would require online retailers to collect sales tax for Indiana even if they have no physical connection to the state.

The latest revenue report shows Indiana earned nearly $26 million less in sales tax than it expected in September.

The state is now 1.5 percent off the mark through the first two months of the 2017 fiscal year.

Individual income tax revenue was better than expected, but corporate income tax and sales tax revenues were below projections in July.

Indiana's sales tax revenues have underperformed this fiscal year and a new revenue forecast predicts the state won't collect as much as previously predicted.
