Plain-English Summary
This bill would likely make assistive technology devices—such as hearing aids, screen readers, mobility aids, and other equipment that helps people with disabilities—more affordable by reducing their cost through tax breaks or subsidies. The changes would help disabled individuals and seniors access the tools they need to work and live independently without facing such high out-of-pocket expenses. Companies that manufacture or sell these devices could also be affected depending on how the tax provisions are structured.
