    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
    2  the assessor of the city of Schenectady is hereby authorized  to  accept
    3  from  Schenectady  Hindu Temple and Community Services, applications for
    4  exemptions from real property taxes pursuant to  section  420-a  of  the
    5  real  property  tax  law  for the 2006 and 2007 assessment rolls for the
    6  parcels owned by Schenectady Hindu Temple and Community Services located
    7  in the city of Schenectady at 1052 Pleasant Street, Schenectady,  other-
    8  wise known as section 49.55, block 2, lot 1.11.  If accepted, the appli-
    9  cations  shall be reviewed as if they had been received on or before the
   10  taxable status date established for such rolls. If satisfied that  Sche-

   12  to such exemptions if it had filed the applications for  the  exemptions
   13  by  the  appropriate  taxable  status dates, the assessor of the city of
   14  Schenectady may upon approval by the city council of  such  city,  grant
   15  exemptions from taxation based on the 2006 and 2007 assessment rolls and
   16  owing  by such not-for-profit organization on the effective date of this
   17  act, and make appropriate correction of the  subject  rolls.    If  such
   18  exemptions  are  granted  and  if such not-for-profit organization shall
   19  have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing  body
   20  or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of
   21  those  taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remain-
   22  ing unpaid.
   23    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
