Whenever during any calendar year existing railroad property subject to assessment by the State Tax Commission pursuant to Section 27-35-301 is sold to a new owner that is not an affiliate of the previous owner and which is a public entity, regional or county railroad authority, or a not-for-profit corporation exempt from payment of ad valorem taxes, and which was created by an Interstate Compact authorized by Section 77-9-531 and by an act of the Legislature of the State of Alabama, the State Tax Commission, upon the written request of the new owner, shall prorate the amount of ad valorem taxes levied and assessed against the railroad property sold by each county, municipality and other taxing district for the calendar year of sale between the selling railroad and the new owner as of the date of sale. The commission shall certify the amounts allocated to the new owner to the selling railroad, the new owner and to the taxing authorities of each county, municipality and other taxing district. Upon the certification, the selling railroad shall be entitled to take credit for and to deduct from its ad valorem taxes accruing on the property sold in each taxing district for the calendar year the pro rata parts or shares of the taxes that are allocated and certified by the State Tax Commission as being part or share of the taxes accruing to the new owner.
