AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES -- DAM MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS

This bill authorizes the town of Burrillville to exempt specific property related to Wilson's Reservoir from real and personal property taxes. The exemption covers the lakebed and any land containing dams, spillways, or associated structures owned by a Dam Management District. Additionally, the legislation requires that fees collected for this management district be gathered using the same legal procedures and authority used for collecting municipal taxes. While the bill also updates a similar tax exemption for the Pascoag Reservoir in Burrillville and Glocester, its primary new provision focuses on Wilson's Reservoir in Burrillville.
