Bill Summary

Relative to the senior circuit breaker tax credit. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law to change the senior circuit breaker tax credit from a fixed amount of $750 to half of the total real estate tax bill. The senior circuit breaker tax credit is a program that provides tax relief to elderly homeowners in Massachusetts who have high property tax burdens relative to their income. This change would increase the amount of the tax credit, potentially providing more financial assistance to eligible seniors.
