Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 541 amends the Tax Code to provide a property tax exemption to certain nonprofit charitable associations that assist ambulatory health care centers involved in indigent health care. To be eligible, an association or the ambulatory health care centers it serves must be funded wholly or partly by a grant under the federal Public Health Service Act and must not perform abortions, provide abortion referrals, or give assistance to ambulatory health care centers that do. Performance of incidental noncharitable functions by the association or incidental use of the property by other parties does not disqualify the association from exemption entitlement.
