Bill Summary
This bill would exempt from taxation under the "Sales and Use Tax Act," P.L.1966, c.30 (C.54:32B-1 et seq.), receipts from the sale of pet food. Pets are valuable companions to persons of all ages and add significantly to the lives of their owners and family members. The annual cost of keeping a pet can be substantial in some instances. The provisions of this bill will help reduce that cost, and thereby encourage more people to keep pets and enjoy the companionship and benefits they provide.
