Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the division of municipal finance (division) within the department of revenue shall have the authority to grant a one-year exemption to any city or town authorized to have a property tax classification structure under this chapter, where in the absence of such an exemption, the city or town would not be in compliance with its applicable tax classification structure. Any city or town seeking such an exemption shall provide the division with any documentation that the division deems necessary to grant an exemption. Such exemption, if approved by the division, shall be limited to one year. The city or town, if granted such an exemption, shall be required to either have applicable state legislation approved amending the specific section of law for which the exemption was sought or adjust its class tax rates so that the city or town is in compliance for its next fiscal year.
