        AN  ACT  in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Hunting-
          ton, county of Suffolk, to accept from the Joshua Baptist  Church,  an
          application for exemption from real property taxes

          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 Huntington, county  of  Suffolk,  is  hereby
     3  authorized  to  accept from the Joshua Baptist Church an application for
     4  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
     5  property tax law, with respect to the 2017-2018, 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
     6  assessment rolls, for the parcels owned by such organization, with  such
     7  parcels being located at 376 Broadway Greenlawn, in the town of Hunting-
     8  ton,  county  of  Suffolk,  otherwise  known  as  Suffolk county tax map
     9  section 211 block 2 lots 49, 50, 51 and 52. 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  organization would otherwise be entitled to
    13  such exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application  for
    14  exemption  by  the  appropriate  taxable status date, the assessor, upon
    15  approval  by  the  Suffolk  county  legislature,  may  make  appropriate
    16  correction  to  the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
    17  organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax  with  respect  to  the
    18  subject  rolls,  the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
    19  its sole discretion, provide for the refund  of  those  taxes  paid  and
    20  cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest remaining
    21  unpaid.

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
