Relative to voluntary contribution check-off boxes on municipal tax bills for support of local veterans’ agents. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill allows any city or town in Massachusetts to include a voluntary donation option on their municipal tax bills, including motor vehicle excise tax bills, or send a separate form with these bills, enabling taxpayers to pledge an additional amount of money to support local veterans and their dependents. This collected money would be managed by the local veterans agent, who is a municipal official responsible for assisting veterans, and would be used to provide aid to those in need. The implementation of this provision requires approval from the commissioner of revenue and the city or town's legislative body.
