AI Summary

This bill aims to provide tax relief for adoptive parents in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would amend the state's tax laws to allow a tax credit of $3,600 for one adopted dependent or $7,200 for two or more adopted dependents until the child reaches age 16. Additionally, the bill would create a tax credit for parents adopting disabled children, with the credit amount increasing over time from $2,000 in 2019 to $10,000 in 2023 and beyond. These tax credits are intended to support and encourage adoption, particularly of children with disabilities, by providing financial assistance to adoptive families.
