Bill > A05264

This bill creates a new tax exemption for over-the-counter (OTC) family planning supplies by amending the New York tax law. Specifically, the bill defines "over the counter family planning supplies" as items that can be purchased in a store without a prescription and are designed to either prevent pregnancy or provide protection against sexually transmitted infections. By adding this provision to the tax law, the bill would eliminate sales and compensating use taxes on these specific health products, making them more affordable and accessible. The tax exemption will take effect on the first day of the sales tax quarterly period that begins after 90 days from the bill becoming law, which means consumers would be able to purchase these items without paying sales tax starting at that time. This measure aims to reduce financial barriers to accessing important health and family planning products.
