HARTFORD, Conn. – After getting pushback from some members of his caucus House Speaker Brendan Sharkey toned down a bill that would allow municipalities to tax certain medical facilities and student housing.
Sharkey was forced to table the bill last week after members objected to making the proposal retroactive. The bill proposed last week would have allowed municipal tax assessors to place medical facilities purchased by nonprofit hospitals and student housing purchased by private universities back on the tax rolls.
The new bill, which passed 82-60 after midnight, would allow currently tax exemption medical facilities to maintain their tax exempt status. However, if theses medical facilities purchased property that was on the tax rolls, they won’t be able to take it off the tax rolls.
