          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 Haverstraw, county of Rockland, is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from Ingelsia Pentecostal 3RA Nueva Jerusalem, Inc.
     4  an application for  exemption  from  real  property  taxes  pursuant  to
     5  section 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2017 assessment roll,
     6  for  the parcel owned by such organization located at 1 Cosgrove Avenue,
     7  in the village of West Haverstraw within the town of Haverstraw,  county
     8  of  Rockland, otherwise known as Rockland county tax map, section 20.19,
     9  block 7, lot 37. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it
    10  had been received on or before the taxable status date  established  for
    11  such roll.
    12    If  satisfied  that  such  organization would otherwise be entitled to
    13  such exemption if such organization had acquired the property and  filed
    14  an  application  by  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor,
    15  upon approval by the town board, may make appropriate corrections to the
    16  subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization, there-
    17  fore, shall have paid any tax with respect  to  the  subject  roll,  the
    18  applicable governing body or tax department 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.
