Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation real property leased to certain local public entities for use as a hospital and related health care services.

SJR 76 is a constitutional amendment proposal that would allow Texas legislators to exempt from property taxes real estate leased to specific local public entities operating hospitals and healthcare facilities. If approved, this change would directly affect county-municipality hospital authorities and other local entities providing public healthcare services. The amendment would modify Article VIII, Section 2(a) of the Texas Constitution to explicitly permit such tax exemptions for leased properties used exclusively for hospital care and related health services. This is a procedural measure requiring constitutional change, not a direct law affecting current tax policies.
