       Introduced  by  Sen.  SKELOS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
         printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
       AN ACT to authorize Mesivta Ateres Yaakov to retroactively apply  for  a
         real  property  tax  exemption  for certain property in the village of
         Lawrence, county of Nassau
         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  Mesivta  Ateres  Yaakov, an application for exemption from real property
    4  taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for part of
    5  the 2012-2013 assessment roll and for part of the  2013-2014  assessment
    6  roll for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit entity which is located
    7  at 385 Mulry Lane, in the village of Lawrence, town of Hempstead, county
    8  of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county section 41, block 97, lots 5
    9  and 6.  If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
   10  received  on  or  before  the  taxable  status date established for such
   11  rolls.
   12    If satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise  be
   13  entitled to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had filed
   14  an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the
   15  assessor,  upon  approval  by  the  Nassau  county legislature, may make
   16  appropriate correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is grant-
   17  ed and such organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid  any  tax  with
   18  respect  to  the  subject  rolls,  the  applicable governing body or tax
   19  department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of  those
   20  taxes  paid and cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest
   21  remaining unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
