This bill exempts medical alert devices and services from sales and use tax. As defined in the bill, "medical alert device" means an electronic device that allows or causes a subscriber, meaning a person with a subscription to a medical alert service, to send a signal to or communicate with an assistance operator. "Medical alert service" is defined as a service that provides a subscriber with a medical alert device and access to an assistance operator who is authorized by the subscriber to contact one or more medical alert responders on the subscriber's behalf when the subscriber uses a medical alert device. Exempting medical alert devices and services from sales tax will help make these devices and services more affordable and accessible to the elderly and other vulnerable populations in New Jersey.
