Digest

Provides that, notwithstanding any growth in a political subdivision's assessed value in the previous year, a political subdivision's ad valorem property tax levy shall not exceed the ad valorem property tax levy for its last preceding annual budget, unless the fiscal body of the political subdivision adopts an affirmative tax rate and tax levy increase by ordinance following a separate public hearing. Requires a resulting decrease in tax rates for each political subdivision in which there was an increase in the political subdivision's assessed value in the previous year, subject to any affirmative tax rate and tax levy increase adopted by the fiscal body of the political subdivision.
