Section
1. 66.0602 (3) (ds) of the statutes is created to read:
66.0602 (3) (ds) If the department of revenue recertifies the tax incremental base of a tax incremental district as a result of the district's subtraction of territory under s. 66.1105 (4) (h) 2., the levy limit otherwise applicable under this section shall be adjusted in the first levy year in which the subtracted territory is not part of the value increment. 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, 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.

Section 1d. 66.1105 (2) (i) of the statutes is renumbered 66.1105 (2) (i) 1. and amended to read:

In any year, a tax increment is “positive" if the value increment is positive; it is “negative" if the value increment is negative.
