AI Summary
This bill amends the definitions of "Annual Income" and "Low or moderate income household" in the Massachusetts General Laws. The changes allow households to deduct up to $10,000 in annual student loan and licensed child care payments from their gross income when determining eligibility for affordable housing programs. This expands access to these programs by increasing the number of households that can qualify as low or moderate income. The bill also provides a special definition for Nantucket and Dukes County, allowing households earning up to 150% of the county's median income to qualify as low or moderate income.
