   Section  1.  Paragraph g of subdivision 3 of section 467-b of the real
 property tax law, as amended by chapter 553 of  the  laws  of  2015,  is
 amended to read as follows:

 decrease  in  the  combined income of all members of the household in an
 amount which exceeds twenty percent of such  income  as  represented  in
 such  head of the household's last approved application for a tax abate-

 of  such  head  of  the household's last application for a tax abatement
 certificate or for renewal thereof; provided, however, that in no  event
 shall  the  amount of the adjusted rent be redetermined to be (i) in the
 case of a head of the household who does not receive a monthly allowance
 for shelter pursuant to the social services law, less than one-third  of
 the  combined income of all members of the household unless such head of
 the household has been granted a rent increase exemption order  that  is
 in  effect  as of January first, two thousand fifteen or takes effect on

 head  of  the  household  who  receives  a monthly allowance for shelter
