(7) For each tax year beginning on and after January 1, 2013,
the personal exemption allowed under subsection (2) shall be adjusted by
multiplying the exemption for the tax year beginning in 2012 by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the United States Consumer Price Index for the state
fiscal year ending in the tax year prior to the tax year for which the adjustment
is being made and the denominator of which is the United States Consumer Price
Index for the 2010-2011 state fiscal year. For the 2022 tax year and each tax
year after 2022, the adjusted amount determined under this subsection shall be
increased by an additional $600.00. The resultant product shall be rounded to
the nearest $100.00 increment. For each tax year, the exemptions allowed under

subsection (3) for the tax year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
United States Consumer Price Index for the state fiscal year ending the tax
year prior to the tax year for which the adjustment is being made and the
denominator of which is the United States Consumer Price Index for the
