         the Committee on Real Property Taxation
       AN ACT to authorize the Good News Church of New York to file an applica-
         tion for real property tax exemptions
         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 Town of Huntington in the county of Suffolk is hereby authorized  to
    3  accept  from  Good  News Church of New York an application for exemption
    4  from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property
    5  tax  law  for such portion of the 2006--2007 and 2007--2008 tax rolls as
    6  occurs between June 27, 2007 and the end of each such tax year, for  the
    7  parcels  of  real  property located in the town of Huntington, county of
    8  Suffolk, known as section  099.00,  block  01.00,  lot  001.000-005.000,
    9  district  0400.  If  accepted,  the applications shall be reviewed as if
   10  they had been received on or before the taxable status date  established
   11  for each such tax year and tax roll. If satisfied that such organization
   12  (i)  acquired  title to the property for which it seeks exemption subse-
   13  quent to the taxable status date established for such roll and prior  to
   14  the  taxable  status  date for the next ensuing assessment roll and (ii)
   15  would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such  organization  had
   16  filed  an  application  for  exemption by the appropriate taxable status
   17  date, the town assessor may grant exemption from all taxation  beginning
   18  with  the  date  of acquisition of the property by such organization and
   19  make appropriate correction to the  subject  roll(s).  If  exemption  is
   20  granted  and  such  organization  therefore shall have paid any tax with
   21  respect to the subject roll, the governing body or tax  department  may,
   22  in  its  sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
   23  cancel taxes, fines, penalties, or interest remaining unpaid.
   24    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
