AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 59 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to allow cities and towns to provide a property tax reduction for senior citizens who have lived in the same city or town for at least 25 years and have reached the age of 65 before the fiscal year for which the tax is due. Specifically, the bill would allow the property tax on the real estate of qualifying seniors to be reduced to the amount of tax due in the fiscal year prior to the person reaching age 65, as long as the person occupies the real estate as their domicile or jointly with their spouse.
