The bill would not affect taxable property values, tax rates, collection rates, or any other variable which might affect the revenues of units of local government or the state.
This bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, assuming that it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2013.
