SF 268 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Additional purchases made by public and private health plans exemption

This bill exempts certain health-related purchases from state sales tax. It creates two new tax exemptions: (1) for "health care materials" like single-use medical supplies prescribed by a physician (e.g., bandages, syringes), and (2) for other items purchased through private health plans that aren't already covered by existing exemptions. The exemption applies to sales and purchases made after June 30, 2025, directly affecting health plans (both public and private) and businesses selling these medical supplies. This change simplifies tax treatment for essential health products without altering coverage or costs for consumers.
