Introduced

SB 173 - Current law provides a sales tax exemption for certain durable medical equipment as defined on January 1, 1980, by the federal Medicare program. This act removes the reference to January 1, 1980.

Additionally, current law provides a sales tax exemption for the sales or rental of manual and powered wheelchairs, including parts. This act applies the exemption to accessories for such wheelchairs.

This act is identical to a provision in HCS/SS/SB 143 (2023) and SCS/HCS/HB 154 (2023), and is similar to SB 943 (2022), HB 1864 (2022), and SB 483 (2021), and to a provision in SS/SCS/SB 649 (2022), SB 743 (2022), CCS/HCS/SB 226 (2021).
