SB803,6,19 66.0602 (2) (a) Except as provided in subs.

(b), the base amount in any year, to which the limit under this section applies, shall be the actual levy for the immediately preceding year. In determining its levy in any year, a city, village, or town shall subtract any tax increment that is calculated under s. 59.57 (3) (a), 60.85 (1) (L), or 66.1105 (2) (i). The base amount in any year, to which the limit under this section applies, may not include any amount to which sub. (3) (e) 8. applies.

SB803,10 Section 10 . 66.0602 (2) (b) of the statutes is amended to read:

SB803,7,5 66.0602 (2) (b) For purposes of par.

The base amount in any year, to which the limit under this section applies, may not include any amount to which sub. (3) (e) 8. applies.

Note: This Section clarifies that an exception for purposes of determining the base amount for a levy limit continues to apply in 2018 and in each year thereafter.

In that year, the political subdivision in which the district is located shall increase the levy limit otherwise applicable by an amount equal to the political subdivision's maximum allowable levy for the immediately preceding year base amount under sub. (2), multiplied by a percentage equal to 50 percent of the amount determined by dividing the value increment of the tax incremental district's territory that was subtracted, calculated for the previous year, by the political subdivision's equalized value, exclusive of any tax incremental district value increments, for the previous year, all as determined by the department of revenue.
