Bill Summary
This bill provides a property tax exemption for a charitable organization that owns a facility used to provide health education and related fitness opportunities to the community. The organization must have a financial assistance program open to all members of the community and must provide free services to individuals who share a household with a service member deployed overseas. The Internal Revenue Service must have confirmed the organization[s federal tax exempt status as a charitable organization in a determination letter issued no later than March 5, 2009. Because this bill relates to an exemption from state or local taxes, it may be referred to the Joint Survey Committee on Tax Exemptions for a report to be printed as an appendix to the bill. For further information see the local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
AI Summary
This bill creates a specific property tax exemption for a charitable organization that meets several precise conditions. The organization must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, with a determination letter issued no later than March 5, 2009. To qualify for the exemption, the organization must own or lease a single facility used for providing health education and fitness opportunities to the community. Additionally, the organization is required to maintain a financial assistance program that is open to all community members and must offer free services to households with military service members who are currently deployed overseas. The property tax exemption will first apply to property tax assessments as of January 1, 2026, meaning charitable organizations meeting these specific criteria can begin claiming the exemption in that tax year. The bill aims to support charitable organizations that provide community health and fitness services while offering special consideration for military families.
