AI Summary

This bill establishes a special Capital Improvements Fund in the town of Westborough, Massachusetts. The fund will be credited with tax revenues collected from the property commonly referred to as the state hospital property, including property, personal, and excise taxes. The town's board of assessors will estimate the annual state hospital property tax revenues to be collected in the upcoming fiscal year and report them to the board of selectmen. The town treasurer will then allocate the estimated revenues to the Capital Improvements Fund without further appropriation. The fund can only be used for capital projects or purposes that cost $10,000 or more and are not annual operating expenses, as well as for the payment of debt service on such projects. This act applies to estimated state hospital property tax revenues to be collected in fiscal year 2019 and thereafter, and it takes effect upon passage.
