16  insert:

17         (4)  Notwithstanding paragraph subsection (1)(b), a

18  supplement or an amendment to a mortgage, deed of trust,

19  indenture, or security agreement, which supplement or

20  amendment is filed or recorded in this state in connection

21  with a new issue of bonds, shall be subject to the tax imposed

22  by paragraph subsection (1)(b) only to the extent of the

23  aggregate amount of the new issue of bonds or other evidence

24  of indebtedness and not to the extent of the aggregate amount

25  of bonds or other evidence of indebtedness previously issued

26  under the instrument being supplemented or amended.  In order

27  to qualify for the tax treatment provided for in this

28  subsection, the document which evidences the increase in

29  indebtedness must show the official records book and page

30  number in which, and the county in which, the original

31  obligation and any prior increase in that obligation were

  1  recorded.

  2         (5)  For purposes of this section, a renewal shall only

  3  include modifications of an original document which change the

  4  terms of the indebtedness evidenced by the original document

  5  by adding one or more obligors, increasing the principal

  6  balance, or changing the interest rate, maturity date, or

  7  payment terms.  Modifications to documents which do not modify

  8  the terms of the indebtedness evidenced such as those given or

  9  recorded to correct error; modify covenants, conditions, or

10  terms unrelated to the debt; sever a lien into separate liens;

11  provide for additional, substitute, or further security for

12  the indebtedness; consolidate indebtedness or collateral; add,

13  change, or delete guarantors; or which substitute a new

14  mortgagee or payee are not renewals and are not subject to tax

15  pursuant to this section. If the taxable amount of a mortgage

16  is limited by language contained in the mortgage or by the

17  application of rules limiting the tax base when there is

18  collateral in more than one state, then a modification which

19  changes such limitation or tax base shall be taxable only to

20  the extent of any increase in the limitation or tax base

21  attributable to such modification.  This subsection shall not

22  be interpreted to exempt from taxation an original mortgage

23  which would otherwise be subject to tax pursuant to paragraph

24  subsection (1)(b).
