Introduced Text

Massachusetts H3024 proposes a sales tax exemption for animal medication prescribed by veterinarians.

Massachusetts H3024 amends the General Laws to exempt from sales tax prescription drugs, durable medical equipment, prosthetics, and veterinary supplies intended for animal use. These items must be prescribed by a licensed veterinarian and are therapeutic in nature, not for repeated usage. This change aims to reduce financial burdens on pet owners when obtaining necessary medical care for their animals.
