The bill H. 3565 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws, specifically Section 12-36-2120, which outlines exemptions from sales tax. The amendment introduces a new sales tax exemption for breast pumps, including breast pump collection and storage supplies, as well as breast pump kits. This addition aims to alleviate financial burdens for new parents and promote breastfeeding by making essential breastfeeding equipment more accessible.

The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor and will first apply to sales occurring after the year 2024. This legislative change reflects a growing recognition of the importance of supporting breastfeeding and the associated costs that new parents face.
