On or before September 1 of each year, the state treasurer shall notify by registered mail the county clerk of each county of any change in the amount of the tax rate for state purposes in that county that is necessitated by state equalization of county assessed valuations. If a state property tax is levied for the payment of interest and principal on state obligations incurred before December 8, 1932, it shall be provided by law before August 1 of each year and shall be apportioned among each county in the manner now provided by law.
(3) Each county that adopts a charter shall be allocated for charter county purposes, from the maximum tax rate that is fixed pursuant to section 6 of article IX of the state constitution of 1963 without approval of the voters, a tax rate in mills equal to the number of mills allocated to the county either by a county tax allocation board or a separate tax limitation under this act in the year immediately preceding the year in which the county adopts a charter.
