AI Summary
This bill establishes a means-tested senior citizen property tax exemption. It allows cities and towns to provide an exemption from property taxes for eligible senior citizens, with the exemption amount being the total tax less 10% of the applicant's income and the circuit breaker tax credit they received the prior year. The exemption is subject to a cap of 0.5-1% of the residential property tax levy, and eligibility is based on income limits, age, residency duration, and home value. The exemption must be re-accepted by the local government every 3 years.
