Exempts breast pumps and breast pump kits from sales and compensating use taxes
This bill exempts breast pumps, breast pump kits, and related items from sales and use taxes in New York. It specifically covers breast pumps (electric or manual devices for milk expression), replacement parts, collection/storage supplies (like bottles and bags designed for pump use), and kits containing these items. The exemption applies only when purchased by individuals for home use during lactation. This policy change directly reduces out-of-pocket costs for parents buying these essential breastfeeding products. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
