Bill Summary

To remove the hospital tax exemption on children's general hospitals.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to remove the hospital tax exemption for children's general hospitals, effective July 1, 2026. Currently, certain types of hospitals, including children's general hospitals, are exempt from a net revenue tax if approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The bill would require children's general hospitals that were previously exempt to pay the same tax rates as other hospitals on both inpatient and outpatient services starting in 2026. The bill defines a "children's general hospital" as a health care facility licensed by the Department of Public Health as a short-term children's hospital, distinguishing it from specialty hospitals like psychiatric or chronic disease hospitals. The Commissioner of Social Services will still seek CMS approval for exemptions for specialty hospitals and state-operated hospitals, but children's general hospitals will no longer be automatically exempt. Hospitals will be required to provide necessary information to the Commissioner to support tax calculations, and those denied an exemption by CMS will be subject to the net revenue tax.
