AI Summary
This bill exempts the sale of recreational safety helmets from New Jersey's sales and use tax, which is a tax applied to the purchase of goods and services. The exemption applies to any helmet or protective headgear that either meets the safety standards required by law for activities like cycling, motorcycling, or skateboarding, or is specifically designed by a manufacturer for use in snow sports such as downhill skiing, snowboarding, or operating a snowmobile. This change aims to make these safety items more affordable for consumers and will take effect immediately, applying to sales made on or after the first day of the third month following the bill's enactment.
