Bill > LB209

This bill modifies property tax exemptions for certain veterans, their surviving spouses, and for-profit healthcare facilities. For veterans, the bill clarifies and expands homestead tax exemptions, specifically for those with 100% service-connected permanent disability or total disability ratings, and their surviving spouses. The bill also introduces a new provision for for-profit skilled nursing facilities, nursing facilities, and assisted-living facilities, allowing them a partial property tax exemption proportional to the percentage of Medicaid-covered beds they maintain over a three-year period. Additionally, the bill updates language around the definitions of these facilities and ensures that this new exemption does not impact existing tax exemptions for nonprofit healthcare facilities. The changes aim to provide tax relief for disabled veterans and their families while also offering some financial support to healthcare facilities that serve Medicaid patients. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
