AI Summary
This bill aims to reduce the property tax liability for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. Specifically, it allows cities and towns in Massachusetts to establish a tax exemption or abatement program for grandparents over the age of 55 who are legally responsible for raising their grandchildren. The bill authorizes a reduction of up to $1,000 per child on the grandparent's real property tax bill, which would be in addition to any other exemptions or abatements they may already receive. The city or town is responsible for maintaining records of the tax reductions and providing that information to both the assessor and the taxpayer.
