AI Summary

This bill proposes to exempt farmers' markets from certain property taxes. Specifically, it would amend the law to consider farmers' markets, as defined by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, as serving a "public purpose" for the purposes of property tax exemptions. This change would provide tax relief to farmers' markets, which are community-based organizations that sell agricultural products directly from farmers to consumers.
