Item 1

 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:

 
Sec. 1. 36 MRSA §1760, sub-§5 is amended to read:

 
5. Medicines. Sales of medicines for human beings sold on
doctor's prescription.

 
SUMMARY

 
Current law provides an exemption from the sales tax for
medicine for human beings but only if it is sold on a doctor's
prescription.

 
This bill removes the limitation that the medicine be sold on
a doctor's prescription, thus making all medicine for human
beings exempt from the sales tax.
