Bill Summary

For legislation relative to circuit breaker reimbursement. Education.

AI Summary

This bill makes a technical adjustment to a section of Massachusetts General Laws concerning circuit breaker reimbursement, specifically amending subsection (c) of section 5A of chapter 71B. The "circuit breaker" program is a property tax relief program designed to help eligible homeowners, particularly seniors and low-income individuals, by reimbursing a portion of their property tax payments that exceed a certain percentage of their income. This bill proposes to change the number "4" to "3" in two separate instances within this subsection, which likely relates to a specific threshold or calculation within the reimbursement formula, though the exact impact of this numerical change is not detailed in the provided text.
