Relative to providing for a sales tax exemption for animal medication prescribed by veterinarians. Revenue.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to add a new sales tax exemption for prescription medications, durable medical equipment, prosthetics, and veterinary supplies specifically used for animals. The bill defines "prescription drugs intended for animal use" as medications that can only be dispensed by or upon a written order from a licensed veterinarian. Additionally, "veterinary supplies" are defined as therapeutic tangible personal property that is not typically used except during illness or injury and is not meant for repeated use. By amending Section 6 of Chapter 64H of the General Laws, the legislation aims to provide a tax break for animal healthcare products, potentially making veterinary care more affordable for pet owners and animal caretakers by reducing the overall cost of necessary medical and therapeutic items.
