        AN  ACT  authorizing  the Hindu Welfare Association of New York, Inc. to

          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-

     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
     3  the  Hindu  Welfare  Association  of  New  York, Inc. an application for
     4  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
     5  property tax law for part of the 2014 general tax year and  all  of  the
     6  2014-2015  school  tax  year and 2015 general tax year assessment rolls,
     7  for the parcel conveyed to such organization,  with  such  parcel  being
     8  located at 729 South Oyster Bay Road, in the hamlet of Bethpage, town of
     9  Oyster Bay, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county parcel ID
    10  section  46 block 370 lots 1A, 1B, 18, and 19. If accepted, the applica-
    11  tion shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxa-
    12  ble status date established for such roll.
    13    If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
    14  such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
    15  exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
    16  approval   by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make  appropriate
    17  correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted  and  such
    18  organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the
    19  subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
    20  its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the refund of those taxes paid and
    21  cancel those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
    22  unpaid.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
