Relative to the publishing of the names of veterans on certain municipal tax lists. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill aims to provide tax relief for veterans by prohibiting municipalities from publishing or publicly sharing the names or other identifying information of veterans who still owe taxes. The bill amends two sections of Massachusetts state law - Chapter 60 and Chapter 62C - to establish these protections for veterans. Specifically, it prevents municipalities from publishing the names of veterans who owe outstanding taxes, and it excludes veterans' names and addresses from being published as part of public lists of taxpayers. This legislation is intended to protect the privacy and avoid the public disclosure of veterans' tax-related information.
