AI Summary

This bill expands the property tax exemption for qualified veterans in Massachusetts. Specifically, it increases the property tax exemption for veterans who have suffered permanent and total disability due to their military service and have received assistance in acquiring "specially adapted housing" from the Veterans Administration. The exemption will continue to benefit the surviving spouse of the veteran after the veteran's death, as long as the spouse remains an owner and occupant of the property. The bill also specifies that the first $2,000 of the exemption will be borne by the city or town, while the remaining balance will be reimbursed by the state. The changes made by this bill will apply to tax years beginning on or after July 1, 2020.
