    3    (Z) NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF PARAGRAPH (C) OF  THIS  SUBDIVI-
    4  SION TO THE CONTRARY, IN A SPECIAL ASSESSING UNIT THAT IS NOT A CITY AND

    6  SPECIAL ASSESSING UNIT'S TWO  THOUSAND  FOURTEEN  ASSESSMENT  ROLL,  THE

    8  PROPORTION OR ADJUSTED PROPORTION,  WHICHEVER  IS  APPROPRIATE,  OF  THE
    9  IMMEDIATELY  PRECEDING YEAR BY MORE THAN ONE PERCENT. WHERE THE COMPUTA-
   10  TION PERFORMED PURSUANT TO  PARAGRAPH  (B)  OF  THIS  SUBDIVISION  WOULD

   13  LATIVE BODY OF SUCH SPECIAL ASSESSING UNIT SHALL ALTER THE CURRENT  BASE
   14  PROPORTION  OF  ANY  OR  ALL  REMAINING  CLASSES  SO THAT THE SUM OF THE
   15  CURRENT BASE PROPORTIONS EQUALS ONE.
   16    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and  shall  apply  to  the
   17  levy  of  taxes based on the 2014 assessment roll in a special assessing
