AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 59 of the General Laws to provide additional compensation for assessors and assistant assessors in cities and towns who have obtained certain professional certifications. The bill outlines three different certification levels - Certified Assessment Evaluator (CAE) or Certified Massachusetts Assessor (CMA), Residential Evaluation Specialist (RES) or Residential Massachusetts Assessor (RMA), and Assessment Administration Specialist (AAS) or Massachusetts Accredited Assessor (MAA) - and provides for additional compensation ranging from 3% to 10% of the assessor's regular compensation, up to specified annual maximums. The additional compensation only applies to full-time assessors or assistant assessors, and an assessor may only receive compensation for one certification. The bill also specifies that the additional compensation shall be prorated if the assessor does not hold the position for the full 12-month period.
