What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "WEAR IT Act," proposes changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It aims to allow certain wearable devices to be purchased using health savings accounts, Archer MSAs, and other spending or reimbursement arrangements. The bill defines wearable devices as equipment or software that is worn on the body or used with a body-worn device to collect physiological data or assist in medical diagnosis and treatment. There is a specific cap on these expenses for tax purposes. These changes are intended to take effect after December 31, 2025.
