An Act relative to tax notification for veterans
This bill prohibits municipalities from publishing veterans' names or personal details if they owe taxes after the tax is due. It allows municipalities to use designated veterans' agents to directly notify affected veterans about their tax obligations. The law also amends tax list publication rules to specifically exclude veterans' names and addresses from publicly shared taxpayer lists. These changes directly protect veterans' privacy regarding tax debt while maintaining proper notification channels. The bill focuses on restricting public disclosure of veterans' identifying information related to tax payments.
