(d) For each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2025, the director of taxation, no later than December 15 of the preceding calendar year, shall recompute the personal exemption and deduction amounts in this section by multiplying the amount for the previous tax year by the cost-of-living adjustment factor, if the cost-of-living adjustment factor is greater than zero, and rounding off the resulting product to the nearest $1. If the cost-of-living adjustment factor is less than zero in a given year, then no adjustment will occur in the following year." SECTION 5.
