Bill > A09656

This bill authorizes local governments and school districts to offer a partial property tax exemption to clinicians who purchase a primary residence in an area designated as having a shortage of medical professionals, provided they also practice in that area. The Commissioner of Health will identify these "clinician shortage areas," which can include counties or smaller geographic regions, and will specify which types of clinicians (physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or nurse midwives) are in short supply. The exemption can last up to five years and cover up to 35% of the property's assessed value, with local authorities able to set additional conditions. To offset the tax revenue lost by these exemptions, the state will provide aid to the taxing jurisdictions, covering the exact amount of the tax savings granted to the clinicians.
