DOH/DASNY Webinar re: Tax Exempt Bonds

With the implementation of DSRIP and the Capital Restructuring Financing Program, it is important for health care professionals to understand how IRS regulations and in particular the restrictions on "private business use" governs the use of buildings and other capital projects if they were financed with tax exempt bonds. With these planning activities underway, it is now important for a broad array of health care professionals to understand the basic tax rules governing tax-exempt bonds in order to make appropriate business decisions and not adversely impact the tax status of bonds previously issued for the benefit of a health care institution, whether those bonds were issued by the Dormitory Authority, a New York City agency or some other entity.

On November 18, 2014 the Department of Health and NYS Dormitory Authority hosted a webinar in which bond counsel presented a primer on tax exempt bonds and the implications for private business use of facilities that have been financed with tax exempt bonds. This 90- minute presentation is relevant for professionals working in health care administration, planning, and finance, and particularly those planning projects that will entail changes in how facilities are used.
