ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Aeroflow Healthcare is celebrating the passage of Texas SB 379, legislation that will eliminate tax on numerous care products such as diapers and breast pumps, starting Sept. 1, 2023. Aeroflow Healthcare directly lobbied with the Texas House and Senate on the tax elimination and pushed for adding breast pumps to the exemption, resulting in its inclusion in SB 379. As a result, Texas residents will now be able to obtain the following products, tax free: adult and child diapers, breast pumps, bottles, baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, maternity clothing and wound care dressing. “We are encouraged to see SB 379 pass, yet another reflection of the work our government relations team has conducted to ensure more patients and caregivers can access medically necessary products and resources to live a healthier life,” said Ryan Bullock, COO at Aeroflow Healthcare. “Both Texas and the recent addition of Florida this past May are two significant additions to the growing number of states our team has successfully lobbied in to enact important legislation changes. We look forward to continuing our mission of breaking down legislative barriers that currently block patients from obtaining products and care in other states.” Florida also recently decided to permanently exempt breast pumps, diapers and senior incontinence supplies from the state sales tax.
