That's one way to stop outsourcing...

This has nothing to do with outsourcing as outsourcing is usually done on a contract basis. This is a way to stop people from being employed by a company in a different state.

"Mr. Bobman offers a potential solution: Have the telecommuting employee resign, form a C or S corporation and invoice the ex-employer for work. But he warns that the former employer would have to pay the former employee more to cover new expenses and lost benefits. And, although it would be a challenge, states could still make a case for taxing the former employer."

It starts with full-time employees and ends with anyone you pay...

Similar to how sales tax started with the location of your company and is now the location of your servers ( in several states ).

That's one way to stop outsourcing...

Only in the sense that it's a giant incentive to outsource all your work overseas where this kind of trauma will never pop up to destroy your business.
