Bill > A02147

This bill amends New York state tax law to provide a sales and use tax exemption for breast pumps, breast pump replacement parts, breast pump collection and storage supplies, and breast pump kits purchased for home use. The bill establishes clear definitions for these terms, including specifying that a "breast pump" means an electrically or manually controlled device designed to express milk from a human breast, with its associated power supply. "Breast pump replacement parts" include items like breast shields, tubes, valves, and specific bottles and caps used with the pump. "Breast pump collection and storage supplies" are expanded to include a broader range of items like storage bags, shields, tubes, valves, and other items that support breastfeeding. The bill also introduces a new definition for "breast pump kit," which is a package containing a breast pump and related accessories, with additional items comprising less than 10% of the total sales price. By providing this tax exemption, the bill aims to make breast pumping equipment more affordable and accessible for individuals who need these medical devices.
