Real property taxes; notice of proposed increase. Adjusts the notice requirements for public hearings held to increase property taxes in localities that conduct their reassessment of real estate more than once every four years. The bill requires such localities to provide notice of any such hearing on a different day and in a different notice from any notice published for the annual budget hearing.
