For legislation to repeal the property tax exemption for Massport lessees. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill repeals the property tax exemption for lessees of the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport). Under the current law, real property leased, used, or occupied by Massport lessees in connection with a for-profit business is exempt from property taxes. This bill removes that exemption, allowing the municipality where the property is located to assess and collect property taxes directly from the lessee. The bill provides that no such property shall be taxed to a lessee of Massport regardless of the date of acquisition of the property by Massport.
