The secretary shall review each such application, and shall approve the municipality's proposed use of the grant-in-aid, provided it has been shown to the secretary's satisfaction that the intended development or modification of a computer-assisted mass appraisal system will (1) meet the minimum computer-assisted mass appraisal revaluation standards and computerized administrative standard requirements as established by the secretary, (2) ensure a more accurate revaluation, and (3) serve to improve both assessment and tax collection practices in the municipality.
