Illinois hospitals including Hillsboro pulled property tax exemption applications leaving county governments to decide taxability. The move follows a 2010 Supreme Court ruling and aims to await potential new state standards, with about 17 hospitals still pending exemption decisions. Illinois Hospital Association officials warn the standard is murky and ongoing legislative action may clarify qualification.
