**************************************************************************
  
The bill would allow some charitable organizations to maintain their
property tax exemptions in a small number of instances where those
organizations would otherwise be denied an exemption based on a division
of responsibilities.  There could be some small amount of revenue loss
to taxing units in appraisal districts that currently deny exemptions to
those organizations.
  
Local Government Impact
  
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is
anticipated.
