Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Broadens tax exemption eligibility for nonprofit homes for the aged.

The bill expands who can qualify for a property tax exemption. It allows limited partnerships where the general partner is wholly owned by a nonprofit, not just a nonprofit itself.

It also updates the legal reference for nonprofit status. The law now points to the current federal tax code section instead of the 1954 version.

These changes take effect for the 2027 tax roll. Existing exemptions are not affected, but new applicants must meet the updated criteria.
