AI Summary
This bill authorizes a city or town to designate a voluntary check-off on its real estate tax bills, where taxpayers can donate an amount of at least $1 or more to be deposited into a special "economic aid fund" maintained by the city or town treasurer. The fund, including any interest earned, can be used to maintain municipal services during periods of instability, without further appropriation. The bill also requires the establishment of a "taxation aid committee" to administer the fund and identify the recipients of the aid.
