Bill Summary

For legislation to clarify the allowance of land under chapter 61b. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 6 of Chapter 132B of the general laws, which deals with revenue and land allowances under chapter 61b, by changing how a "board of assessors" (a local government body responsible for valuing property for tax purposes) handles applications. Currently, if a board of assessors does not act on an application within three months of it being filed, it is automatically considered denied. This bill would change that to mean that if the board fails to act within three months, the application would be automatically approved.
