Allows localities to grant an exemption from real property taxation for child day cares
This bill allows local governments (counties, cities, towns, villages, or school districts) to create a property tax exemption for licensed child day cares. Specifically, it permits localities to exempt up to 50% of a child care facility's assessed property value from real estate taxes, but only if the locality formally approves the exemption through a law or resolution. The exemption applies only to properties actively used for licensed child care operations, and ends if the property is no longer used for that purpose. Local governments may choose to offer a smaller exemption than 50% if they prefer.
