AI Summary
This bill, titled "Relative to senior property tax deferral," proposes changes to Section 5 of Chapter 59 of the General Laws, which deals with property taxes. Specifically, it amends the law by changing the number "ten" to "7" in one instance and by adding the phrase "the expiration of 1 year after" in two other places. These changes likely relate to the conditions or timeframes for seniors to defer their property tax payments, meaning they can postpone paying their property taxes until a later date, often after the property is sold or the owner passes away. The bill aims to modify existing provisions that allow seniors to defer these taxes, potentially by adjusting a numerical threshold or extending a period related to the deferral process.
