Bill > HB06430

This bill proposes to amend section 12-20a of the general statutes to establish state grants in lieu of taxes specifically for nonprofit inpatient hospital facilities that provide mental health care services. In practical terms, this means that these healthcare facilities, which are typically tax-exempt due to their nonprofit status, would receive direct financial support from the state to help offset the property taxes they would otherwise be required to pay. By providing these grants, the state aims to support mental health care providers and help ensure the financial stability of nonprofit hospitals that specialize in mental health treatment. The bill appears to recognize the important role these facilities play in providing critical mental health services and seeks to provide them with financial assistance through a direct grant mechanism, effectively compensating them for the property tax exemption they currently enjoy.
