AI Summary

This bill authorizes the town of Holliston to establish a means-tested senior citizen property tax exemption. The exemption would apply to residential properties owned and occupied by individuals aged 65 or older whose prior year's income makes them eligible for the "circuit breaker" income tax credit. The Select Board of Holliston would annually set the exemption amount, which must be between 50 and 200 percent of the circuit breaker credit. The total exemption amount would be allocated proportionally within the residential tax levy. The exemption would expire after 3 years unless reauthorized by the town's legislative body.
