   §  2. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 1903 of the real prop-
 erty tax law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (xxii) to  read  as
 follows:
   (XXII)  NOTWITHSTANDING  ANY  OTHER  PROVISION  OF LAW, IN AN APPROVED
 ASSESSING UNIT IN THE COUNTY OF NASSAU AND FOR CURRENT BASE  PROPORTIONS
 TO  BE  DETERMINED  BY TAXES BASED ON SUCH APPROVED ASSESSING UNIT'S TWO
 THOUSAND TWENTY ROLL, 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
 PERCENT,  PROVIDED  THAT SUCH APPROVED ASSESSING UNIT HAS PASSED A LOCAL
 LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION PROVIDING THEREFOR. WHERE  THE  COMPUTATION
 OF  CURRENT  BASE  PROPORTIONS  WOULD OTHERWISE PRODUCE SUCH RESULT, THE
 CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF SUCH CLASS OR CLASSES  SHALL  BE  LIMITED  TO
 SUCH  ONE  PERCENT  INCREASE  AND  THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF SUCH APPROVED
 ASSESSING UNIT SHALL ALTER THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTION OF  EITHER  CLASS
 SO THAT THE SUM OF THE CURRENT BASE PROPORTIONS EQUALS ONE.
   §  3.  This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that
 section one of this act shall apply to the levy of taxes  based  on  the
 2019 and 2020 assessment rolls in a special assessing unit that is not a
 city  and  that section two of this act shall apply to the levy of taxes
 based on the 2019 and 2020 assessment rolls in approved assessing  units
 in  the  county of Nassau that pass a local law, ordinance or resolution
 to adopt these provisions.
