AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Chapter 59 of the Massachusetts General Laws to allow cities and towns to reduce the property tax for certain elderly residents. Specifically, it would allow the board of assessors to annually reduce the property tax to the amount owed prior to the person reaching age 65, if the person is at least 65 years old, has lived in the city or town for 25 years or longer, and occupies the real estate as their domicile or jointly with their spouse. This change would be subject to acceptance by the city or town.
