NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. - Acelleron celebrates the passage of LD 145, which establishes a sales and use tax exemption for breast pumps and other essential home medical equipment in Maine. The legislation is now part of the state budget. By removing the sales tax burden, the state affirms that devices such as breast pumps are not luxury items, but essential tools for infant nutrition and family health, the company says. “This achievement is the result of years of dedicated advocacy,” said Jason Canzano, managing director of Acelleron and board member of the Home Medical Equipment & Services Association of New England (HOMES). “HOMES has worked tirelessly for approximately three years to advance this initiative, and it is gratifying to see it successfully incorporated into the state budget. Bringing this measure to the finish line is a meaningful step for Maine families and for the DME community as a whole.” Acelleron says it worked alongside key partners to champion this legislation and is thrilled to see this impactful policy enacted. The company says the policy change is expected to improve affordability for patients and reduce administrative complexity for providers across Maine. Aeroflow also applauds the passage of the bill.
