         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  Hands  Across  Long Island, Inc., an application for exemption from real
    4  property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
    5  for a portion of the 2013-2014 assessment roll, and for a portion of the
    6  2012-2013  assessment  roll,  and  for a portion of the 2013-2014 school
    7  taxes for the parcel  owned  by  such  not-for-profit  entity  which  is
    8  located  at  30-34 Park Place, in the village of Lynbrook, town of Hemp-
    9  stead, county of Nassau, otherwise known by  Nassau  county  parcel  ID,
   10  section 38, block 95, lots 49, 464, 465, 466.  If accepted, the applica-
   11  tion shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxa-
   12  ble status date established for such rolls.
   13    If  satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be
   14  entitled to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had filed
   15  an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the
   16  assessor, upon approval by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make
   17  appropriate correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is grant-
   18  ed  and  such  organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with
   19  respect to the subject rolls,  the  applicable  governing  body  or  tax
   20  department  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those
   21  taxes paid and cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or  interest
   22  remaining unpaid.
   23    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
