2 property tax law, as amended by chapter 158 of the laws of 2002, is
3 amended to read as follows:
4 (d) Such district superintendent shall also determine what proportion
5 of any tax to be levied in such school district for school purposes
6 during the current school year shall be levied upon each part of a city
7 or town included in such school district by dividing the sum of the full
8 valuation of real property in such part of a city or town by the total
9 of all such full valuations of real property in such school district.
10 Such proportions shall be expressed in the nearest exact ten thousandths
11 and the school authorities of such school district shall levy such a

22 authorities of such district.
