The bill allows grounds owned by a religious institution or society and used by a person or entity, regardless of whether the religious institution or society has a lease agreement with the person or entity, to retain tax-exempt status if the grounds are being used by the person or entity for the primary purpose of providing educational instruction to children, the person or entity providing educational services includes in its instruction religious instruction consistent with the doctrines of the religious institution or society, and the person or entity using the grounds is not required to make rental payments to the religious institution or society.
