"( ) an amount of the fair market value of real property, not including agricultural real property, equal to increases in such value resulting from countywide reassessment programs occurring after the current owner acquired the property. This exemption does not extend to increases in fair market value attributable to permanent improvements, unless such improvements merely restore the status quo ante of a structure damaged or destroyed by mishap or natural disaster. When ownership of real property benefiting from this exemption changes, the fair market value of the property escalates to its then current fair market value. For purposes of this exemption, the acquisition of residential property assessed pursuant to Section 12-43-220(c) by interspousal gift or by a surviving spouse by devise or operation of law is not considered a change of ownership."
B. This section is effective for increases in fair market value occurring as a result of reassessment programs occurring after 1994.
SECTION 5. A. Article 1, Title 6 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 6-1-60. The governing body of a county, municipality, special
purpose or public service district, and the governing body authorized by law to
levy school taxes may not increase the millage rate it imposes for a tax year
over the millage rate it imposed for the prior tax year by more than the
percentage increase in the consumer price index in the most recently completed
calendar year. An additional increase, not to exceed the increase allowed to
reflect one-half the consumer price index, may be imposed by a three-fifth's
vote of the governing body. Any further increase may be imposed only if the
increase is approved by a majority of the qualified electors of the political
subdivision voting in a referendum called for this purpose."
