AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts state law to allow certain local business owners to vote in municipal elections. Specifically, it would allow a city or town to provide voting rights in town meetings and municipal elections to any U.S. citizen aged 18 or older who is liable for at least $1,000 in taxes assessed by the city or town under Chapter 59, Section 11 of the state's General Laws. This would give some business owners, in addition to residents, the right to participate in local elections.
