          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 Village of Port  Chester  is  hereby  authorized  to
     3  accept  from  Caritas  of Port Chester Inc. an application for exemption
     4  from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property
     5  tax  law for the 2020-2021 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such
     6  organization located in the Town of Rye,  Village  of  Port  Chester  at
     7  509-511 North Main Street, otherwise known as Westchester county tax map
     8  section  136.64,  block 1, lot 34. If accepted, the application shall be
     9  reviewed as if it had been received on  or  before  the  taxable  status
    10  dates established for such roll.
    11    If  satisfied that such community service organization would otherwise
    12  be entitled to such exemption if such community service organization has
    13  acquired the subject property and filed an application for exemption  by
    14  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the
    15  Town Board of Rye, Village of Port Chester, may grant exemption from all
    16  taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject roll.  If  such
    17  exemption  is  granted and such community service organization therefore
    18  shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the  governing
    19  body  or  tax  department  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the
    20  refund of those taxes paid  and  cancel  any  taxes,  fines,  penalties,
    21  interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
