Sec. 2.  Any nonprofit hospital owned and controlled by a unit of local government may submit a written request to the Secretary of Revenue to receive semiannual refunds under G.S. 105-164.14(b) instead of annual refunds under G.S.  105- 164.14(c).  The request is effective beginning with the six-month refund period following the date of the request and applies to sales and use taxes paid on or after the first day of the refund period for which the request is effective.

Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
