AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 6 of Chapter 62 of the General Laws by adding a new subsection that establishes a tax credit for licensed Massachusetts attorneys who provide pro bono, meaning free, legal services for adoption cases. Specifically, attorneys who handle at least one adoption case per year will be eligible for a $500 credit for each case, with a maximum credit of $2,500 allowed per tax year. This initiative aims to reduce the financial burden associated with adoption by incentivizing legal professionals to offer their services without charge.
