AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 23B of the General Laws to exclude a veteran's disability benefit paid pursuant to 38 U.S.C. section 1101 et seq. from the calculation of an applicant's income for any publicly assisted housing. This change aims to make low-income housing more accessible to disabled veterans by not counting their disability benefits as part of their income when determining eligibility for such housing programs.
