AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that state payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) to cities and towns are not less than the previous fiscal year, even if the measurable acreage of land remains the same or increases. Specifically, the bill amends sections of the Massachusetts General Laws and the Acts of 2016 to stipulate that if the measurable acreage of state-owned or other tax-exempt land in a city or town has remained the same or increased from the previous fiscal year, the total amount reimbursed to that city or town by the Commonwealth shall not be less than the amount reimbursed in the previous fiscal year. This is intended to ensure consistent and predictable PILOT funding for municipalities that host state-owned or other tax-exempt properties.
