Bill overview
This bill proposed to exempt certain personal safety devices, such as pepper spray and personal alarms, from Massachusetts’ sales tax. The goal was to make these devices more affordable for residents and potentially deter crime. However, the bill failed to pass the legislature. It was initially referred to the Revenue Committee and subsequently considered during a joint hearing before being ultimately unsuccessful.
