1    (35 ILCS 105/3-8)
2    Sec. 3-8. Hospital exemption.
3    (a) Until July 1, 2022, tangible Tangible personal property
4sold to or used by a hospital owner that owns one or more
5hospitals licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act or operated
6under the University of Illinois Hospital Act, or a hospital
7affiliate that is not already exempt under another provision of
8this Act and meets the criteria for an exemption under this
9Section, is exempt from taxation under this Act.
10    (b) A hospital owner or hospital affiliate satisfies the
11conditions for an exemption under this Section if the value of
12qualified services or activities listed in subsection (c) of
13this Section for the hospital year equals or exceeds the
14relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability,
15without regard to any property tax exemption granted under
16Section 15-86 of the Property Tax Code, for the calendar year
17in which exemption or renewal of exemption is sought. For
18purposes of making the calculations required by this subsection
19(b), if the relevant hospital entity is a hospital owner that
20owns more than one hospital, the value of the services or
21activities listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the
22basis of only those services and activities relating to the
23hospital that includes the subject property, and the relevant
24hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be
25calculated only with respect to the properties comprising that
26hospital. In the case of a multi-state hospital system or

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 18 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1hospital affiliate, the value of the services or activities
2listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the basis of
3only those services and activities that occur in Illinois and
4the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax
5liability shall be calculated only with respect to its property
6located in Illinois.
7    (c) The following services and activities shall be
8considered for purposes of making the calculations required by
9subsection (b):
10        (1) Charity care. Free or discounted services provided
11    pursuant to the relevant hospital entity's financial
12    assistance policy, measured at cost, including discounts
13    provided under the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount
14    Act.
15        (2) Health services to low-income and underserved
16    individuals. Other unreimbursed costs of the relevant
17    hospital entity for providing without charge, paying for,
18    or subsidizing goods, activities, or services for the
19    purpose of addressing the health of low-income or
20    underserved individuals. Those activities or services may
21    include, but are not limited to: financial or in-kind
22    support to affiliated or unaffiliated hospitals, hospital
23    affiliates, community clinics, or programs that treat
24    low-income or underserved individuals; paying for or
25    subsidizing health care professionals who care for
26    low-income or underserved individuals; providing or

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 19 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    subsidizing outreach or educational services to low-income
2    or underserved individuals for disease management and
3    prevention; free or subsidized goods, supplies, or
4    services needed by low-income or underserved individuals
5    because of their medical condition; and prenatal or
6    childbirth outreach to low-income or underserved persons.
7        (3) Subsidy of State or local governments. Direct or
8    indirect financial or in-kind subsidies of State or local
9    governments by the relevant hospital entity that pay for or
10    subsidize activities or programs related to health care for
11    low-income or underserved individuals.
12        (4) Support for State health care programs for
13    low-income individuals. At the election of the hospital
14    applicant for each applicable year, either (A) 10% of
15    payments to the relevant hospital entity and any hospital
16    affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity
17    (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations
18    provide financial or operational support for or receive
19    financial or operational support from the relevant
20    hospital entity) under Medicaid or other means-tested
21    programs, including, but not limited to, General
22    Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and
23    the State Children's Health Insurance Program or (B) the
24    amount of subsidy provided by the relevant hospital entity
25    and any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant
26    hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 20 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    operations provide financial or operational support for or
2    receive financial or operational support from the relevant
3    hospital entity) to State or local government in treating
4    Medicaid recipients and recipients of means-tested
5    programs, including but not limited to General Assistance,
6    the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State
7    Children's Health Insurance Program. The amount of subsidy
8    for purpose of this item (4) is calculated in the same
9    manner as unreimbursed costs are calculated for Medicaid
10    and other means-tested government programs in the Schedule
11    H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this
12    amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
13        (5) Dual-eligible subsidy. The amount of subsidy
14    provided to government by treating dual-eligible
15    Medicare/Medicaid patients. The amount of subsidy for
16    purposes of this item (5) is calculated by multiplying the
17    relevant hospital entity's unreimbursed costs for
18    Medicare, calculated in the same manner as determined in
19    the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective
20    date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly,
21    by the relevant hospital entity's ratio of dual-eligible
22    patients to total Medicare patients.
23        (6) Relief of the burden of government related to
24    health care. Except to the extent otherwise taken into
25    account in this subsection, the portion of unreimbursed
26    costs of the relevant hospital entity attributable to

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 21 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    providing, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities,
2    or services that relieve the burden of government related
3    to health care for low-income individuals. Such activities
4    or services shall include, but are not limited to,
5    providing emergency, trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric,
6    rehabilitation, or other special services; providing
7    medical education; and conducting medical research or
8    training of health care professionals. The portion of those
9    unreimbursed costs attributable to benefiting low-income
10    individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated
11    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs
12    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
13    government programs, Medicare patients with disabilities
14    under age 65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients
15    and dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's
16    total costs. Such costs for the numerator and denominator
17    shall be determined by multiplying gross charges by the
18    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
19    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
20    Worksheet, Part I). In the case of emergency services, the
21    ratio shall be calculated using costs (gross charges
22    multiplied by the cost to charge ratio taken from the
23    hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS
24    2252-10 Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the
25    relevant hospital entity's emergency department.
26        (7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital entity

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 22 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
2    government or addresses the health of low-income or
3    underserved individuals.
4    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
5exemption application establishing that it satisfies the
6requirements of subsection (b). For purposes of making the
7calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital
8applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value
9of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
10hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
11activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
12year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
13less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
14calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
15basis.
16    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
17this Section:
18        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
19    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
20    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
21    those paragraphs; and
22        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
23    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
24    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as
25    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the
26    Internal Revenue Code.

1    (f) (Blank).
2    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
3estimated property tax liability used for the determination in
4subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
5        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
6    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
7    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
8    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
9    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
10    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
11    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
12    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
13    property by multiplying:
14            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
15        any, of the portion of the property for which an
16        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
17        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
18        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
19            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
20        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
21            (C) the applicable tax rate.
22        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
23    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
24    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
25    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
26    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 24 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
2    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
3    (C).
4            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
5        on the property" means the replacement value of any
6        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
7        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
8        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
9        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
10        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
11        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
12        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
13        current cost and local multipliers.
14            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
15        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
16        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
17        for the buildings based on original construction and
18        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
19        applicable life for other types of buildings as
20        specified in the American Hospital Association
21        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
22        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
23        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
24        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
25        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
26        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 25 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
2        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
3        32 years is assumed.
4            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
5        portion of the property shall be determined by
6        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
7        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
8        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
9        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
10        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
11        the exempt portion of the property's land square
12        footage.
13        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
14    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
15    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
16    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
17    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
18    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
19    end of the hospital year.
20        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
21    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
22    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,
23    or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.

24hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be
25calculated only with respect to the properties comprising that

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 29 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1hospital. In the case of a multi-state hospital system or

12    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs
13    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
14    government programs, Medicare patients with disabilities
15    under age 65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients

2    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
3    government or addresses the health of low-income or
4    underserved individuals.
5    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
6exemption application establishing that it satisfies the

10of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
11hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
12activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
13year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
14less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
15calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
16basis.
17    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
18this Section:
19        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
20    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
21    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
22    those paragraphs; and
23        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
24    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
25    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as
26    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the

1    Internal Revenue Code.
2    (f) (Blank).
3    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
4estimated property tax liability used for the determination in
5subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
6        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
7    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
8    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
9    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
10    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
11    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
12    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
13    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
14    property by multiplying:
15            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
16        any, of the portion of the property for which an
17        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
18        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
19        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
20            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
21        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
22            (C) the applicable tax rate.
23        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
24    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
25    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
26    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 35 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
2    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
3    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
4    (C).
5            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
6        on the property" means the replacement value of any
7        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
8        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
9        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
10        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
11        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
12        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
13        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
14        current cost and local multipliers.
15            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
16        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
17        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
18        for the buildings based on original construction and
19        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
20        applicable life for other types of buildings as
21        specified in the American Hospital Association
22        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
23        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
24        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
25        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
26        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 36 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
2        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
3        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
4        32 years is assumed.
5            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
6        portion of the property shall be determined by
7        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
8        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
9        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
10        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
11        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
12        the exempt portion of the property's land square
13        footage.
14        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
15    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
16    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
17    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
18    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
19    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
20    end of the hospital year.
21        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
22    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
23    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,
24    or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.
25    (h) For the purpose of this Section, the following terms

5sold to or used by a hospital owner that owns one or more
6hospitals licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act or operated
7under the University of Illinois Hospital Act, or a hospital

22activities listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the
23basis of only those services and activities relating to the

25hospital entity's estimated property tax liability shall be

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 40 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1calculated only with respect to the properties comprising that
2hospital. In the case of a multi-state hospital system or

4listed in subsection (c) shall be calculated on the basis of
5only those services and activities that occur in Illinois and
6the relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax
7liability shall be calculated only with respect to its property
8located in Illinois.
9    (c) The following services and activities shall be
10considered for purposes of making the calculations required by
11subsection (b):
12        (1) Charity care. Free or discounted services provided
13    pursuant to the relevant hospital entity's financial
14    assistance policy, measured at cost, including discounts

24    support to affiliated or unaffiliated hospitals, hospital
25    affiliates, community clinics, or programs that treat
26    low-income or underserved individuals; paying for or

8    the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State
9    Children's Health Insurance Program. The amount of subsidy
10    for purposes of this item (4) is calculated in the same

7    providing emergency, trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric,
8    rehabilitation, or other special services; providing
9    medical education; and conducting medical research or
10    training of health care professionals. The portion of those
11    unreimbursed costs attributable to benefiting low-income
12    individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated
13    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs
14    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
15    government programs, Medicare patients with disabilities
16    under age 65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients
17    and dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's
18    total costs. Such costs for the numerator and denominator
19    shall be determined by multiplying gross charges by the
20    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
21    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
22    Worksheet, Part I). In the case of emergency services, the
23    ratio shall be calculated using costs (gross charges
24    multiplied by the cost to charge ratio taken from the
25    hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS
26    2252-10 Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 44 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    relevant hospital entity's emergency department.
2        (7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital entity
3    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
4    government or addresses the health of low-income or
5    underserved individuals.
6    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
7exemption application establishing that it satisfies the
8requirements of subsection (b). For purposes of making the
9calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital
10applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value
11of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
12hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
13activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
14year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
15less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
16calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
17basis.
18    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
19this Section:
20        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
21    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
22    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
23    those paragraphs; and
24        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
25    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
26    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 45 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the
2    Internal Revenue Code.
3    (f) (Blank).
4    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
5estimated property tax liability used for the determination in
6subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
7        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
8    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
9    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
10    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
11    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
12    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
13    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
14    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
15    property by multiplying:
16            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
17        any, of the portion of the property for which an
18        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
19        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
20        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
21            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
22        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
23            (C) the applicable tax rate.
24        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
25    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
26    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 46 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
2    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
3    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
4    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
5    (C).
6            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
7        on the property" means the replacement value of any
8        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
9        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
10        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
11        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
12        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
13        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
14        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
15        current cost and local multipliers.
16            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
17        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
18        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
19        for the buildings based on original construction and
20        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
21        applicable life for other types of buildings as
22        specified in the American Hospital Association
23        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
24        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
25        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
26        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 47 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
2        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
3        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
4        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
5        32 years is assumed.
6            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
7        portion of the property shall be determined by
8        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
9        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
10        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
11        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
12        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
13        the exempt portion of the property's land square
14        footage.
15        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
16    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
17    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
18    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
19    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
20    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
21    end of the hospital year.
22        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
23    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
24    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,
25    or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.
26    (h) For the purpose of this Section, the following terms

13    subsidize activities or programs related to health care for
14    low-income or underserved individuals.
15        (4) Support for State health care programs for
16    low-income individuals. At the election of the hospital
17    applicant for each applicable year, either (A) 10% of
18    payments to the relevant hospital entity and any hospital
19    affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity
20    (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations
21    provide financial or operational support for or receive
22    financial or operational support from the relevant
23    hospital entity) under Medicaid or other means-tested
24    programs, including, but not limited to, General
25    Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and
26    the State Children's Health Insurance Program or (B) the

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 53 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    amount of subsidy provided by the relevant hospital entity
2    and any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant
3    hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's
4    operations provide financial or operational support for or
5    receive financial or operational support from the relevant
6    hospital entity) to State or local government in treating
7    Medicaid recipients and recipients of means-tested
8    programs, including but not limited to General Assistance,
9    the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State
10    Children's Health Insurance Program. The amount of subsidy
11    for purposes of this item (4) is calculated in the same
12    manner as unreimbursed costs are calculated for Medicaid
13    and other means-tested government programs in the Schedule
14    H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this
15    amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
16        (5) Dual-eligible subsidy. The amount of subsidy
17    provided to government by treating dual-eligible
18    Medicare/Medicaid patients. The amount of subsidy for
19    purposes of this item (5) is calculated by multiplying the
20    relevant hospital entity's unreimbursed costs for
21    Medicare, calculated in the same manner as determined in
22    the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective
23    date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly,
24    by the relevant hospital entity's ratio of dual-eligible
25    patients to total Medicare patients.
26        (6) Relief of the burden of government related to

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 54 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    health care. Except to the extent otherwise taken into
2    account in this subsection, the portion of unreimbursed
3    costs of the relevant hospital entity attributable to
4    providing, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities,
5    or services that relieve the burden of government related
6    to health care for low-income individuals. Such activities
7    or services shall include, but are not limited to,
8    providing emergency, trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric,
9    rehabilitation, or other special services; providing
10    medical education; and conducting medical research or
11    training of health care professionals. The portion of those
12    unreimbursed costs attributable to benefiting low-income
13    individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated
14    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs
15    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
16    government programs, Medicare patients with disabilities
17    under age 65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients
18    and dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's
19    total costs. Such costs for the numerator and denominator
20    shall be determined by multiplying gross charges by the
21    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
22    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
23    Worksheet, Part I). In the case of emergency services, the
24    ratio shall be calculated using costs (gross charges
25    multiplied by the cost to charge ratio taken from the
26    hospital's most recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 55 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    2252-10 Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the
2    relevant hospital entity's emergency department.
3        (7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital entity
4    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
5    government or addresses the health of low-income or
6    underserved individuals.
7    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
8exemption application establishing that it satisfies the
9requirements of subsection (b). For purposes of making the
10calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital
11applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value
12of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
13hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
14activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
15year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
16less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
17calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
18basis.
19    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
20this Section:
21        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
22    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
23    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
24    those paragraphs; and
25        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
26    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 56 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as
2    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the
3    Internal Revenue Code.
4    (f) (Blank).
5    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
6estimated property tax liability used for the determination in
7subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
8        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
9    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
10    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
11    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
12    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
13    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
14    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
15    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
16    property by multiplying:
17            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
18        any, of the portion of the property for which an
19        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
20        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
21        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
22            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
23        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
24            (C) the applicable tax rate.
25        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
26    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 57 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
2    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
3    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
4    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
5    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
6    (C).
7            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
8        on the property" means the replacement value of any
9        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
10        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
11        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
12        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
13        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
14        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
15        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
16        current cost and local multipliers.
17            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
18        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
19        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
20        for the buildings based on original construction and
21        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
22        applicable life for other types of buildings as
23        specified in the American Hospital Association
24        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
25        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
26        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is

 

 

10000SB1469ham001- 58 -LRB100 09786 KTG 43635 a

1        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
2        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
3        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
4        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
5        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
6        32 years is assumed.
7            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
8        portion of the property shall be determined by
9        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
10        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
11        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
12        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
13        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
14        the exempt portion of the property's land square
15        footage.
16        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
17    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
18    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
19    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
20    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
21    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
22    end of the hospital year.
23        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
24    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
25    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,
26    or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.
