A. 
If the ratio between the veterans exemption granted under Real Property Tax Law § 458 and the total assessed value of the real property for which such exemption has been granted increases or decreases due only to a full value assessment in the district(s) of the Town of Clifton Park, the amount of the exemption heretofore or hereafter granted under Real Property Tax Law § 458 shall be increased or decreased in such subsequent year in the same proportion as the total assessed value has been increased or decreased.
B. 
If, on the date of the adoption by the Town of Clifton Park of full value assessment, no ratio existed between a veterans exemption granted under Real Property Tax Law § 458 and the then assessed value of the subject real property, the amount of veterans exemption otherwise allowed under Real Property Tax Law § 458 shall be increased by an amount computed by dividing the amount of the veterans exemption allowed under Real Property Tax Law § 458 by the equalization rate established by the New York State Board of Equalization and Assessment for the Town of Clifton Park from the last fractional assessment roll.
