AI Summary

This bill aims to provide tax abatements for deaf residents in Massachusetts. Specifically, it allows for a $5,000 tax abatement or a $437.50 tax reduction, whichever is greater, for real property owned and occupied by a deaf individual as their primary residence. The bill also provides a $500 tax abatement for deaf residents, and specifies that this new Fifty-Eighth A clause will take precedence over the previously established Fifty-Eighth clause in cities and towns that accept it. The bill amends Chapter 59 of the General Laws to incorporate these new tax abatement provisions for deaf residents.
