Provides that, whenever the Department of Revenue is notified by a county or township assessor that the average fair-market value of residential property within the jurisdiction of a township or county assessor has fallen by more than 7%, it shall immediately impose an additional special multiplier in the geographic area specified by the assessor so that the equalized assessed value of all property in the geographic area reflects the decline in fair-market value.
