 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to the proportion
   of taxes to be raised in school districts
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1. Paragraph (d) of subdivision 1 of section 1314 of the real
 property tax law, as amended by chapter 158 of  the  laws  of  2002,  is
 amended to read as follows:
   (d)  Such district superintendent shall also determine what proportion
 of any tax to be levied in such  school  district  for  school  purposes
 during  the current school year shall be levied upon each part of a city
 or town included in such school district by dividing the sum of the full
 valuation of real property in such part of a city or town by  the  total
 of  all  such  full valuations of real property in such school district.
 Such proportions shall be expressed in the nearest exact ten thousandths
 and the school authorities of such school district  shall  levy  such  a
 proportion  of  any  tax  to be raised in the school district during the
 current school year upon each part of a city or town  included  in  such
 school  district  as  shall  have been determined by the district super-
 intendent. A new proportion shall be determined  for  each  school  year
 thereafter  by  the  district  superintendent  in  accordance  with  the
 provisions of this section by the use of the latest  state  equalization
 rates.  THE NEW PROPORTION SHALL NOT BE INCREASED MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT
 OVER THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S PROPORTION. In any such school district that is
 not within the jurisdiction of a district superintendent of schools, the
 duties which would otherwise be performed by the district superintendent
 under the provisions of this section, shall be performed by  the  school
 authorities of such district.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 it shall have become a law.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
