AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to provide a lifetime income tax exemption for prisoners of war. The key provision is a new paragraph (R) that would exempt income received by a person who was regularly appointed, enrolled, enlisted, or inducted into the U.S. military and was captured, separated, and incarcerated by an enemy of the United States during an armed conflict. The exemption is intended to be a lifetime benefit for these prisoners of war.
