AI Summary
This bill modifies existing laws concerning tax exemptions for nonprofit hospitals. Specifically, it amends provisions related to sales tax exemptions, income tax exemptions, and ad valorem tax exemptions. The key change across all three areas is the introduction of a condition: a nonprofit hospital will lose its tax exemption if it charges any patient with commercial health insurance more than 200% of what Medicare reimburses for the same or a similar service. This provision aims to ensure that nonprofit hospitals do not excessively overcharge privately insured patients compared to government-set rates, while still allowing for some difference. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
