        AN  ACT  authorizing  The New Horizon Counseling Center, Inc. to receive
          retroactive real property tax exempt status

          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  The  New  Horizon  Counseling  Center, Inc. an application for exemption
     4  from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property
     5  tax  law  for  the 2016 and the 2017 general tax years and the 2016-2017
     6  school tax year, for the parcel conveyed to such organization, with such
     7  parcel being located at 40 East Merrick Road, in the village  of  Valley
     8  Stream,  town  of Hempstead, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau
     9  county parcel ID section 37 block 103 lot  group  16-25  and  lot  group
    10  26-27.  If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
    11  received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
    12    If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
    13  such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
    14  exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
    15  approval   by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make  appropriate
    16  correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted  and  such
    17  organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the
    18  subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
    19  its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the refund of those taxes paid and
    20  cancel those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
    21  unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
