        AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the City of Albany  to
          accept  from  the  Koinonia  Primary  Care,  Inc.  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 City of Albany is hereby authorized to accept from
     3  the Koinonia Primary Care, Inc. an application for exemption  from  real
     4  property  taxes  pursuant  to section 420-a of the real property tax law
     5  for the 2019 assessment roll, for the parcels located  in  the  City  of
     6  Albany  at 553 Clinton Avenue and 157 North Lake Avenue, otherwise known
     7  as Albany county tax map section 65.55, block 5, lot 60 and 65.55, block
     8  1, lot 23. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if  it  had
     9  been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
    10  rolls.  If  satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled
    11  to such exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property
    12  and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
    13  date, the assessor, upon approval by the City of Albany Common  Council,
    14  may  grant  exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections
    15  to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such  organization
    16  therefore  shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the
    17  governing body or tax department may, in its  sole  discretion,  provide
    18  for  the  refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penal-
    19  ties, interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
