       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 Hands Across  Long  Island,  Inc.  to  retroactively
         apply  for  a  real property tax exemption for certain property in the
         village of Lynbrook, town of Hempstead, 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  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 assessment roll, and for a portion of the
    6  2013-2014 school taxes for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit enti-
    7  ty which is located at 30-34 Park Place, in  the  village  of  Lynbrook,
    8  town  of  Hempstead,  county of Nassau, otherwise known by Nassau county
    9  tax identification number: 11-3088310.   If  accepted,  the  application
   10  shall  be  reviewed  as if it had been received on or before the taxable
   11  status date established for such 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
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
