Bill Summary

This bill exempts select baby products from the "Sales and Use Tax Act." Currently, the purchases of certain baby items such as cribs; child restraint systems; nursing bottles, nipples, and funnels; and strollers are subject to the sales and use tax. The bill would exempt these items from the tax to help reduce the costs of caring for an infant child. The bill defines a "child restraint system" as any device that is designed to protect, hold, or restrain an infant while riding in a motor vehicle to prevent or minimize injury and conforms with federal motor vehicle safety standards. The bill also defines a "crib" as a bed or containment designed to accommodate an infant and a "stroller" as a non-motorized, wheeled vehicle designed to push or otherwise transport an infant including, but not limited to, a carriage, folding-type umbrella stroller, or full-size stroller.

AI Summary

This bill exempts certain essential baby products from the "Sales and Use Tax Act," which is the law governing sales and use taxes in the state. Currently, taxes are applied to purchases of items like cribs, which are beds or containment units for infants; child restraint systems, which are devices designed to safely secure infants in motor vehicles according to federal safety standards; nursing bottles, nipples, and funnels; and strollers, which are non-motorized wheeled vehicles for transporting infants. By exempting these items, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on parents and caregivers.
