Bill Summary

Amend The South Carolina Code Of Laws By Amending Section 12-36-2120, Relating To Sales Tax Exemptions, So As To Provide An Exemption For Breast Pumps And Supplies And Incontinence Products.

AI Summary

This bill amends South Carolina's sales tax law to create two new sales tax exemptions. First, the bill provides a sales tax exemption for breast pumps, breast pump collection and storage supplies, and breast pump kits, making these essential healthcare items more affordable for new parents. Second, the bill exempts incontinence products from sales tax, but only when they are prescribed by a State Medicaid provider for Medicaid beneficiaries and the provider is reimbursed by the State Medicaid program or a Medicaid-managed care organization. This means that incontinence products will be tax-free specifically for Medicaid patients when prescribed by an enrolled Medicaid provider. The bill will take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, potentially reducing costs for these medical supplies for certain populations.
