To authorize municipalities to lower the age for property tax relief for senior citizens.

AI Summary

This bill has two main provisions: 1. It allows municipalities to lower the age requirement for senior citizens to receive property tax relief, from 70 years old to 65 years old. The bill specifies that municipalities that previously set the age limit at 70 years old are not required to take another vote to lower the age, unless they choose to do so. 2. It establishes a task force to study ways to protect senior citizens from fraud, including the planning services available for Medicaid applicants. The task force will consist of members from the state legislature and the Commissioners of Aging and Disability Services and Social Services, and must submit a report on its findings and recommendations by January 1, 2022.
