AI Summary

This bill would amend Massachusetts law to allow cities and towns to require organizations exempt from property taxes (such as charities and non-profits) to make payments in lieu of taxes equal to 25% of the property tax that would be owed if the property was not tax-exempt. The bill also allows cities and towns to adopt local ordinances or bylaws to provide for agreements with these organizations, including allowing exemptions from the payments or considering community benefits as a form of payment.
