Bill > H3214

This bill modifies the real estate tax abatement for blind persons in Massachusetts by increasing the amount of property tax exemption from $437 and $500 to $1,800 in two separate instances within Chapter 59 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The bill essentially provides a significant increase in financial relief for blind individuals by more than quadrupling the existing tax exemption amounts. By raising the exemption to $1,800, the legislation aims to provide greater economic support to blind residents by reducing their property tax burden. The changes would apply to the current version of the law as it appeared in the 2020 Official Edition, updating the specific dollar amounts that blind persons can deduct from their real estate tax obligations.
