SB 2170 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the exemption from ad valorem taxation of property of a charitable organization that provides financial support for medical care at certain institutions of higher education.

This bill amends Texas tax law to expand property tax exemptions for charitable organizations that provide financial support for medical care at certain universities. Specifically, it adds a new category of qualifying organizations under Section 11.18(d)(1), exempting their property (like buildings and land) from ad valorem taxes if they provide medical care without regard to patients' ability to pay at designated higher education institutions. The exemption applies to property used exclusively by these organizations for their charitable medical care functions. This change directly affects charitable groups partnering with universities to fund medical services, altering their tax treatment under existing property tax rules.
