AI Summary
This bill authorizes the town of Harvard to establish a cap on property taxes for means-tested senior citizens. Specifically, it amends a previous law to provide an exemption that caps the property tax at 10% of the taxpayer's total annual household income, or a different percentage determined under a separate section. This exemption applies to the taxpayer's domicile and is in addition to any other exemptions allowed under state law, but the property taxes cannot be reduced by more than 50% through this exemption. The bill takes effect upon passage.
