        AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the county of Nassau  to  accept  an
          application  for  exemption from real property taxes from Iglesia Long
          Island Para Cristo Inc. for a certain parcel in the town of Hempstead

          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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
     3  Iglesia  Long  Island Para Cristo Inc. an application for exemption from
     4  real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax
     5  law  for a portion of the 2016-2017 school and the 2017 general tax roll
     6  for the parcel located in the town of Hempstead  at  177  Harvard  Ave.,
     7  also  known  as 24 James LL Burrell Ave., Hempstead, otherwise known as:
     8  section 34, block 248, lot 109 and 110.  If accepted,  such  application
     9  shall  be  reviewed  as if it had been received on or before the taxable
    10  status dates established for such rolls. If satisfied that such non-pro-
    11  fit would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such non-profit had
    12  filed an application for exemption by  the  appropriate  taxable  status
    13  dates, the assessor, upon approval of the Nassau county legislature, may
    14  grant  exemption  from  all taxation and make appropriate corrections to
    15  the subject rolls. If such exemption  is  granted  and  such  non-profit
    16  therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the
    17  governing  body  or  tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide
    18  for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes,  fines,  penal-
    19  ties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
