Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

Section 62A of chapter 60 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2020 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out, in line 12, the words "25 per cent of the amount needed to redeem the parcel" and inserting in place thereof the following words:- up to 25 per cent of the amount needed to redeem the parcel.
