Exempts cribs, child restraint systems, nursing bottles, and strollers from sales and use tax.
This New Jersey bill (S 477) exempts specific baby products from the state's sales tax. It directly affects parents and caregivers purchasing cribs, child restraint systems (like car seats meeting federal safety standards), nursing bottles/nipples/funnels, and strollers. The key provision removes the sales tax on these items, which are currently taxed under the "Sales and Use Tax Act." The goal is to reduce costs for essential infant care products, as stated in the bill's summary. The exemption takes effect immediately upon enactment.
