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 bill defines a "recreational safety helmet" broadly to include any protective headgear that either meets the safety standards required by law for activities like cycling or motorcycling, or is specifically designed by a manufacturer for snow sports such as downhill skiing, snowboarding, or operating snowmobiles. This exemption aims to make safety equipment more affordable for consumers engaging in these recreational activities.
