AI Summary

This bill amends the Massachusetts General Laws to make changes to the state's low-income housing tax credit program. Specifically, it increases the annual cap on the amount of tax credits available from $20 million to $20 million, plus an additional $5 million for preserving and improving existing state or federally-assisted housing, as well as any unused or returned credits from previous years. The bill also allows taxpayers to elect to receive the tax credit in a single year, rather than over multiple years, subject to the department's qualified allocation plan. The changes take effect for the tax year beginning January 1, 2018 and expire on December 31, 2025.
