AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to expand the septic system tax credit. Specifically, it would make the credit refundable, remove the requirement that the septic system be "failed" to qualify, and increase the maximum credit amount from $1,500 per year to $1,500 per year for up to 10 years, for a total maximum of $6,000. These changes are intended to provide more financial assistance to homeowners for the design, construction, repair, or replacement of their septic systems.
