        AN ACT in relation to authorizing Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson,  Inc.
          to file an application for a real property tax exemption

          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 Montgomery,  county  of  Orange,  is  hereby
     3  authorized  to  accept  from  Girl  Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc.  an
     4  application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant  to  section
     5  420-a of the real property tax law for the 2018 assessment roll, for the
     6  parcel  located  in  the town of Montgomery at 30 Scott's Corners Drive,
     7  otherwise known as Orange county tax map number 20-1-65.22. If accepted,
     8  the application shall be reviewed as if  it  had  been  received  on  or
     9  before the taxable status dates established for such roll.
    10    If  satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be
    11  entitled to such  exemption  if  such  not-for-profit  organization  has
    12  acquired  the subject property and filed an application for exemption by
    13  the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by  the
    14  town board of Montgomery, may grant exemption from all taxation and make
    15  appropriate corrections to the subject roll. If such exemption is grant-
    16  ed  and  such  not-for-profit organization therefore shall have paid any
    17  tax with respect to the subject roll, the governing body or tax  depart-
    18  ment  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes
    19  paid and cancel any taxes, fines,  penalties,  interest,  or  tax  liens
    20  remaining unpaid.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
