Can an Arizona city require an out-of-state seller to get a business license?

In Arizona, a city or town cannot make a person get a business license to sell to buyers located there if the person owes Arizona tax only because their business went over the threshold set by state law. This protects out-of-state businesses whose only tie to Arizona tax is that sales volume.
