AI Summary

This bill aims to provide criteria for determining the value of tax exemptions for charitable use of certain hospitals in Florida. It amends Florida Statute 196.197 to include a new subsection that outlines the calculation method for the exemption, which involves multiplying the unadjusted exempt value of the hospital's property and tangible personal property by a fraction based on the hospital's county net community benefit expense and the county's total tax assessment. The bill also defines key terms, such as "county tax assessment" and "unadjusted exempt value," and requires hospitals to submit specific information, including their most recently filed IRS Form 990 Schedule H, to apply for the exemption. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2020.
