Bill > SB1112

This bill authorizes a sales tax exemption for breast pump supplies by adding a new provision to the existing sales tax law. Specifically, the bill defines "breast pump supplies" to include breast pumps (electrically or manually controlled devices used to express milk), breast pump collection and storage supplies (such as breast shields, tubes, valves, bottles, and storage bags), and breast pump kits. The exemption covers these items when sold separately or as part of a kit, with some limitations on additional items included in the kit. The goal appears to be making essential breastfeeding equipment more affordable by removing sales tax from these products. The bill provides detailed definitions to clarify exactly what types of items qualify for the exemption, ensuring that only relevant breastfeeding-related supplies are tax-exempt. This change would make breast pump supplies more accessible and potentially more affordable for new mothers by eliminating the sales tax burden on these medical and personal care items.
