S 1934 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the curatorship program

This bill amends state law to exempt historic properties designated under the curatorship program from certain tax provisions found in Chapter 59 of the General Laws. The change directly affects owners of historic sites in Massachusetts that have been officially designated for this specific program. By removing these properties from the standard tax rules, the legislation aims to provide a clearer financial framework for their preservation without imposing the usual tax obligations. The measure does not alter the core definition or operational requirements of the curatorship program itself, focusing solely on the tax exemption for designated historic buildings.
