Bill > HB3198

This bill amends Section 144.030 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo) to create a sales tax exemption for essential infant care supplies, specifically including baby bottles, baby wipes, and breast pump supplies. The bill defines "breast pump" as an electric or manual device for expressing milk, along with its power supply. It also defines "breast pump collection and storage supplies" as items used with a breast pump to collect and store milk, such as shields, tubing, valves, storage bags, and specific bottles and caps, but excludes general carrying accessories, cleaning supplies, nursing bras, and creams unless they are part of a pre-packaged kit. A "breast pump kit" is defined as a package containing a breast pump and some collection/storage supplies or other items that support breastfeeding, provided these additional items are less than ten percent of the kit's total price. The exemption aims to reduce the financial burden on parents by making these necessary items more affordable.
