An Act amending the means tested senior citizen property tax exemption in the town of Sudbury

HD 5165 amends Sudbury's means-tested senior citizen property tax exemption law to require periodic town approval. The bill mandates that Sudbury's town meeting vote every 3 years on whether to extend the exemption, using a specific ballot question. If approved, the exemption continues for another 3 years; if rejected, it pauses until the town votes to restart it. This directly affects Sudbury residents aged 65+ who qualify for the tax exemption under current income limits. The change replaces the previous permanent authorization with a renewal process dependent on annual town meeting decisions.
