Exempts breast pumps and breast pump kits from sales and compensating use taxes
This bill exempts breast pumps, breast pump replacement parts, collection supplies, and breast pump kits from sales and use taxes when purchased by individuals for home use during breastfeeding. It specifically covers items like electric or manual pumps, related parts (e.g., shields, tubes), storage bags, and kits containing these products. The law clarifies definitions to ensure only breastfeeding-specific items qualify for the exemption, excluding standard infant bottles or unrelated supplies. This change directly reduces out-of-pocket costs for mothers purchasing these essential lactation products.
