AI Summary

This bill establishes income reviews for residents of affordable housing in Massachusetts. Specifically, it requires any person or family residing in restricted low or moderate income housing to provide proof of eligibility to their municipality every 5 years from the initial date of purchase. If a person or family is found to be ineligible, they will be subject to the normal local property tax assessment, rather than the discounted rate allowed for under the existing affordable housing law.
