The bill amends the General Sales Tax Act of 1933 by updating definitions and legal language related to various terms used within the act. Key insertions include clarifications on terms such as "computer," "dietary supplement," and "durable medical equipment," which now include more specific criteria and descriptions. For instance, the definition of "computer" has been refined to specify that it manipulates information based on a sequence of instructions, while "dietary supplement" now explicitly requires labeling in accordance with federal regulations. Additionally, the term "prescription" has been updated to align with current definitions in the insurance code.

Several deletions have also been made to streamline the language, such as removing outdated references to the "pharmacopoeia" and clarifying the conditions under which certain definitions apply, like "lease or rental." The bill also specifies that certain definitions, such as "durable medical equipment," must be dispensed in accordance with a prescription, ensuring that the language reflects contemporary practices in healthcare and sales. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4883, indicating a coordinated legislative effort.
