For each year in which a general reassessment of property will take effect, the state board of tax commissioners shall compute the maximum rate permitted under subsection (a) as follows:
        STEP ONE: Determine the maximum rate for the year preceding the year in which the general reassessment takes effect.
        STEP TWO: Determine the actual percentage increase (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth percent) in the assessed value of the taxable property from the year preceding the year the general reassessment takes effect to the year that the general reassessment is effective.
        STEP THREE: Determine the three (3) calendar years that immediately precede the ensuing calendar year and in which a statewide general reassessment of real property does not first become effective.
        STEP FOUR: Compute separately, for each of the calendar years determined in STEP THREE, the actual percentage increase (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth percent) in the assessed value of the taxable property from the preceding year.
        STEP FIVE: Divide the sum of the three (3) quotients computed in STEP FOUR by three (3).
        STEP SIX: Determine the greater of the following:
            (A) Zero (0).
            (B) The result of the STEP TWO percentage minus the STEP FIVE percentage.
        STEP SEVEN: Determine the quotient of the STEP ONE tax rate divided by one (1) plus the STEP SIX percentage increase.
This maximum rate is the maximum rate under this section until a new maximum rate is computed under this subsection for the next year in which a general reassessment of property will take effect.".
