A YES vote means

Start the tax break in 2027 with no income limit. Homeowners must apply and be at least 70 by January 1 that year; the break then renews while they qualify.

A NO vote means

Keep current school tax breaks. Do not add a full school tax break for every qualifying homeowner aged 70 or older.
