The policy change simplifies the tax exemption structure without altering other tax rules.
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.
