2018 House Bill 6337

Authorize tax breaks for for-profit buyer of municipal hospital

Introduced in the House

Sept. 6, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Beau LaFave (R-108)

To exempt the tools and equipment owned by a hospital from property taxes that are levied on business tools and equipment (“personal property tax”). The bill is part of a legislative package authorizing the sale of a municipal hospital to a for-profit company, but appears to potentially extend the exemption to any “business engaged primarily in health care services”.
