AI Summary

This bill amends Section 32 of Chapter 121B of the Massachusetts General Laws to exclude veterans' and their spouses' benefits received under Chapter 115 from being considered for the purpose of determining rent for public housing. This means that any benefits veterans or their spouses receive through the state's Chapter 115 program, which provides financial and medical assistance to veterans, will not be counted as income when calculating their rent for public housing.
