Bill > H3202

This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts state tax law by adding a sales tax exemption for personal safety devices and personal safety call services. Specifically, the bill modifies Chapter 64H of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs sales taxation, by inserting language that would exclude sales of personal safety devices and related services from being subject to the state sales tax. The change appears to be aimed at making personal safety equipment and services more affordable by removing the sales tax burden. While the bill does not define the term "personal safety devices," this could potentially include items like personal alarm systems, pepper spray, safety apps, or emergency response services designed to help individuals protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations. By providing a sales tax exemption, the bill seeks to reduce the cost of these safety-related products and services for Massachusetts consumers.
