Plain-language change summary

The amendment to the bill expanded the eligibility for the municipal property tax freeze to include certain other qualified individuals in addition to qualified disabled veterans. This change allows for a broader group of people, which may include surviving spouses or joint owners of qualifying veterans, to benefit from the property tax freeze, potentially assisting more households with their property tax expenses.
