Unless they have an office in New York State, then no, they're not
required by state law to do anything. As much as our new governor would
like it to be otherwise, last I heard, neither he nor our legislature is
allowed to inflict laws on those outside its borders. The Supreme Court
of the United States has been painfully clear on this issue, twice now,
and they're probably not going to be very amused when the "Amazon Tax"
lands on their bench.
