        AN ACT relating to authorizing the Town of Hempstead to be able to grant

          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  Hempstead, County of Nassau, is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from the Roosevelt  Fire  Department,  a  municipal
     4  corporation,  an  application  for  exemption  from  real property taxes
     5  pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law with  respect  to
     6  the  2018-2019  assessment roll for a portion of the 2018 general taxes,
     7  for the parcel owned by such municipal corporation which is  located  at
     8  59  Park  Avenue, Roosevelt, Town of Hempstead, County of Nassau, other-
     9  wise known as Roosevelt school district 008, section 55, block 484,  lot
    10  0014.  If  accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
    11  received on or before the  taxable  status  date  established  for  such
    12  assessment rolls.
    13    If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
    14  exemption  if  such  municipal  corporation has filed an application for
    15  exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
    16  approval  of the Town of Hempstead board, may grant exemption from taxa-
    17  tion on such assessment rolls and make the  appropriate  corrections  of
    18  the  subject  rolls.  If  exemptions  are  granted and such corporation,
    19  therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to  the  subject  rolls,
    20  the  applicable  governing  body  or  tax  departments,  in  their  sole
    21  discretion, shall provide for the refund of the taxes paid,  along  with
    22  any fines or penalties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
