If any such decrease exceeds five per cent of the district's tangible personal property taxable value included in the total taxable value used in computing the district's state education aid for the fiscal year that ends in the current calendar year, or if any such increase exceeds five per cent of the district's total taxable value used in computing the district's state education aid for the fiscal year that ends in the current calendar year, the tax commissioner shall certify both of the following to the department of education and the office of budget and management:
(1) The taxable value of the tangible personal property increase or decrease, including utility tangible personal property increase or decrease, which shall be considered a change in valuation;

If any decrease exceeds five per cent of the district's tangible personal property taxable value included in the total taxable value used in the district's state aid computation for the fiscal year that ends in the current calendar year, or if any increase exceeds five per cent of the district's total taxable value used in the district's state education aid computation for the fiscal year that ends in the current calendar year, the tax commissioner shall certify both of the following to the department of education and the office of budget and management:

The department shall pay to or deduct from the district an amount equal to one-half of the difference between the district's state education aid prior to the recomputation under this section and the district's recomputed state education aid. The payment date shall be determined by the director of budget and management.
