(4)The department of revenue shall adopt rules providing a process for a nonprofit hospital to dispute the determination of assessed or taxable value of nonprofit hospital property used to establish the potential tax liability.
(5)For the purposes of this section, "potential tax liability" means the amount of property taxes a nonprofit hospital would have owed on its real property in the prior tax year if the nonprofit hospital had not been exempt from taxation under 15-6-201 .
