             9      increased. The act restricts funding for a special service district providing jail service to a
             10      property tax. The act modifies provisions relating to municipal jails. This act also makes
             11      technical changes.

             393          (ii) the amount of the decrease is more than 20% of the county's certified tax rate of the
             394      previous year; and
             395          (iii) the decrease results in a reduction of the amount to be paid to the agency under

             406          (c) Notwithstanding a decrease in the certified tax rate under Subsection (2)(c) or (2)(d)(i),
             407      the amount of money allocated and, when collected, paid each year to a redevelopment agency

             409      payment of bonds or other contract indebtedness, but not for administrative costs, may not be less
             410      than that amount would have been without a decrease in the certified tax rate under Subsection
