          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 Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from Ekklesia  Long  Island  Center  Ministries  an
     4  application  for  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section
     5  420-a of the real property tax law for the 2019-2020 assessment roll and
     6  the 2020-2021 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such organization
     7  located at 134 Mastic Boulevard West in Shirley, in the town of Brookha-
     8  ven, county of  Suffolk,  otherwise  known  as  district  0200,  section
     9  880.00,  block 01.00, lot 005.000. If accepted, the application shall be
    10  reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
    11  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  town  board  of  Brookhaven,  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 town board of Brookhaven may, in its sole discretion,
    19  provide for the refund of those  taxes  paid  and  cancel  those  taxes,
    20  fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
