     4    (iv) Notwithstanding any  other  provision  of  law,  in  an  approved

     7  thousand three - two thousand four, two thousand  four  -  two  thousand
     8  five  and  two  thousand  five  - two thousand six assessment rolls, the
     9  current base proportion of any class shall not exceed the adjusted  base
    10  proportion  or  adjusted  proportion,  whichever  is appropriate, of the
    11  immediately preceding year by more than two percent, or in the  case  of
    12  the  two thousand five--two thousand six, two thousand six--two thousand

    22  current  base  proportion  of  such class or classes shall be limited to
    23  such two percent or one percent increase whichever  is  applicable,  and
    24  the  legislative  body  of  such approved assessing unit shall alter the
    25  current base proportion of either class so that the sum of  the  current
    26  base proportions equals one.

     1    §  2. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 3 of section 1903 of the real prop-
     2  erty tax law is amended by adding a new subparagraph (xxii) to  read  as
     3  follows:
     4    (xxii)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of law, in an approved
     5  assessing unit in the county of Nassau and for current base  proportions
     6  to  be  determined  by taxes based on such approved assessing unit's two
     7  thousand twenty roll, the current base proportion of any class shall not
     8  exceed the adjusted base proportion or adjusted proportion, whichever is
     9  appropriate, of  the  immediately  preceding  year,  by  more  than  one
    10  percent,  provided  that such approved assessing unit has passed a local
    11  law, ordinance or resolution providing therefor. Where  the  computation
    12  of  current  base  proportions  would otherwise produce such result, the
    13  current base proportion of such class or classes  shall  be  limited  to
    14  such  one  percent  increase  and  the legislative body of such approved
    15  assessing unit shall alter the current base proportion of  either  class
    16  so that the sum of the current base proportions equals one.

    22  in  the  county of Nassau that pass a local law, ordinance or resolution
    23  to adopt these provisions.
