Restricts tax-exempt status for nonprofit general hospital facilities to those operating in the same location as an emergency department or federally-qualified health center, effective October 1, 2015.

Maintains state grants in lieu of taxes at 77 percent of property taxes for qualifying institutions of higher education and hospital facilities meeting the new criteria.

Adds "urgent care facility" operating at least 12 hours daily to tax-exempt categories if it was the location of a nonprofit general hospital for at least part of calendar year 1996.

Requires nonprofit hospital societies and corporations to file exemption statements with local assessors in 1967 and quadrennially thereafter to maintain tax-exempt status.
