  nation  of  adjusted base proportions in special assessing units which

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivision  1 of section 1803-a of the real property tax
law is amended by adding a new paragraph (x) to read as follows:
  (X) NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (C) OF  THIS  SUBDIVI-
SION  TO  THE  CONTRARY, IN A SPECIAL ASSESSING UNIT WHICH IS A CITY AND
FOR CURRENT BASE PROPORTIONS TO BE DETERMINED IN SUCH SPECIAL  ASSESSING
UNIT'S FISCAL YEAR TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN, THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF
ANY  CLASS  SHALL  NOT  EXCEED  THE ADJUSTED BASE PROPORTION OR ADJUSTED
PROPORTION, WHICHEVER IS APPROPRIATE, OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING  YEAR
BY  MORE  THAN ONE AND ONE-HALF PERCENT. WHERE THE COMPUTATION PERFORMED
PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION  WOULD  OTHERWISE  PRODUCE
SUCH  RESULT, THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF SUCH CLASS OR CLASSES SHALL
BE LIMITED TO A ONE AND ONE-HALF PERCENT INCREASE  AND  THE  LEGISLATIVE
BODY OF SUCH SPECIAL ASSESSING UNIT SHALL ALTER THE CURRENT BASE PROPOR-
TION OF ANY OR ALL REMAINING CLASSES SO THAT THE SUM OF THE CURRENT BASE
PROPORTIONS EQUALS ONE.
  S  2. In the event the special assessing unit which is a city has sent
out real property tax bills for its fiscal year  2013  before  this  act
shall  have become a law, the city shall take such actions as are neces-

provisions  of  section  one of this act, including, but not limited to,
revising the current base proportions  and  adjusted  base  proportions,
resetting  the real property tax rates and sending amended real property
tax bills. Provided, however, that nothing in this act shall  be  deemed
to  affect the obligation of any taxpayer with respect to the payment of
any installment of real property tax for such fiscal year which was  due
and  payable  prior to the date such amended real property tax bills are
sent; for this purpose, such obligations shall be determined in  accord-
