          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 Ramapo is hereby authorized to accept from
     3  the Hamaspik of Rockland County, Inc. an application for exemption  from
     4  real  property  taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax
     5  law for the 2017 assessment roll, for the parcel located in the Town  of
     6  Ramapo  at  324  Route  59,  otherwise  known  as Town of Ramapo tax map
     7  section 57.45, block 1, lot 5. If accepted,  the  application  shall  be
     8  reviewed  as  if  it  had  been received on or before the taxable status
     9  dates established for such roll.
    10    If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
    11  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 Town Board of Ramapo, may grant
    14  exemption from all taxation and  make  appropriate  corrections  to  the
    15  subject  roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization there-
    16  fore 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.
