          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the  assessor  of  the  Town  of  Babylon,  County of Suffolk, is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from Ahmadiyya Movement In Islam, Inc., a  not-for-
     4  profit  corporation,  an  application  for  exemption from real property
     5  taxes pursuant to section 420-a  of  the  real  property  tax  law  with
     6  respect  to the 2018-2019 assessment rolls, for the parcel owned by such
     7  not-for-profit corporation which is located at 64 Union  Avenue,  Amity-
     8  ville,  Town  of  Babylon, County of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk
     9  county tax map district 0101, section 005.00, block 03.00, lot  019.000.
    10  If  accepted,  the  application  shall  be  reviewed  as  if it had been
    11  received on or before the  taxable  status  date  established  for  such
    12  assessment rolls.
    13    If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
    14  exemption  if  such  not-for-profit corporation has filed an application
    15  for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
    16  approval of the Town of Babylon board, may grant exemption from taxation
    17  on such assessment rolls and make the  appropriate  corrections  of  the
    18  subject  rolls.  If  exemptions are granted and such corporation, there-
    19  fore, shall have paid any tax with respect to  the  subject  rolls,  the
    20  applicable  governing body or tax departments, in their sole discretion,
    21  shall provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines  or
    22  penalties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
