"Section 1. County, city or town; primary property tax levy for tax years 2022 and 2023; delayed repeal; definition
A. For tax year 2022, if a county's, city's or town's proposed primary property tax levy, excluding amounts that are attributable to new construction, is greater than the amount levied by the county, city or town in the 2021 tax year in the county, city or town and the county, city or town received monies under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4), the county, city or town shall use the monies received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 to reduce the proposed primary property tax levy so that the property tax levy does not exceed the 2021 tax year's amount except for amounts attributable to new construction.
B. For tax year 2023, if a county's, city's or town's proposed primary property tax levy, excluding amounts that are attributable to new construction, is greater than the amount that would have been levied by the county, city or town in the 2022 tax year in the county, city or town if the county, city or town had not reduced the levy pursuant to subsection A of this section and the county, city or town received monies under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4), the county, city or town shall use the monies received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 to reduce the proposed primary property tax levy so that the property tax levy does not exceed the amount that would have been levied by the county, city or town in the 2022 tax year if the county, city or town had not reduced the levy pursuant to subsection A of this section except for amounts attributable to new construction.
C. At the end of each tax year, the county, city or town may spend any monies the county, city or town received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4) that exceed the amount needed to reduce the primary property tax levy pursuant to this section for that tax year at the county's, city's or town's discretion.
D. For tax year 2024, the county, city or town may disregard any monies the county, city or town received under section 603 of the American rescue plan act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2; 135 Stat. 4) and calculate the primary property tax levy for the tax year as if those monies were not included to reduce the primary property tax levy for the preceding two tax years.
E. The property tax oversight commission shall review the primary property tax levy calculation under this section for each county, city and town to determine if there is a violation of this section.
F. This section is repealed from and after December 31, 2026.
