AI Summary
This bill provides municipalities in Massachusetts with the option to freeze the residential tax rate or valuation for elderly homeowners who meet certain means-tested criteria. The key provisions include allowing municipalities to freeze taxes for those over a certain age or who are permanently disabled, with income and asset limits determined by the municipality. The tax freeze would be in addition to any other exemptions, and the property would remain on the tax rolls and subject to bonded indebtedness. The bill aims to provide property tax relief for elderly residents with limited means.
