AI Summary
This bill amends the Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Relief Act to ensure that the income eligibility levels for reduced vehicle registration fees for seniors and people with disabilities are updated regularly to keep pace with inflation. Specifically, it mandates that these income thresholds be adjusted every three years by an amount equal to the percentage increase in the consumer price index-u (a measure of inflation for urban consumers) over the preceding 12 months. The Comptroller will calculate these new amounts and provide them to the Department on Aging, which will then determine when these adjusted figures take effect and publish them. This change aims to maintain the real value of the income eligibility limits over time.
