Bill > S06994

This bill amends the New York 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 provides detailed definitions for these items, including specifying that a "breast pump" means an electrically or manually controlled device designed to express milk from a human breast during lactation, with its associated power supply. The bill defines "breast pump replacement parts" as items used to collect milk, such as breast shields, tubes, valves, and specific bottle components. "Breast pump collection and storage supplies" are expanded to include a broader range of items like breast shields, tubes, valves, storage bags, and other items that support breastfeeding. Additionally, the bill introduces a new term "breast pump kit," which is defined as a package containing a breast pump and related supplies, with any additional non-essential items comprising less than 10% of the total kit price. The purpose of this legislation is to make breast pumping equipment more affordable and accessible by removing sales tax from these essential items for new parents.
