State taxes punish nursing mothers.

Mothers that pump are required to pay sales tax when they buy their equipment, while infant formula is generally tax-free. A handful of states have limited exemptions, where pumps are exempt subject to certain stipulations. This isn’t a true solution and doesn’t ease the tax burden on most moms. The only real solution is a full sales and use tax exemption for breast pumps and supplies. Click here to learn more about our solution and download model language.

Note: In “conditional” states (light turquoise on the map), exemption is conditional upon certain factors, such as if it was obtained with a prescription.
