        AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town  of  Hunting-
          ton,  county  of  Suffolk,  to  accept  from  the  League  for  Animal
          Protection of Huntington, 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 town of Huntington, county  of  Suffolk,  is  hereby
     3  authorized  to  accept from the League for Animal Protection of Hunting-
     4  ton, Inc. an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant
     5  to section 420-a of the real property  tax  law,  with  respect  to  the
     6  2018-2019  and  the  2019-2020 assessment rolls for the parcels owned by
     7  such organization, with such parcels being located at 3 Verleye  Avenue,
     8  in the town of Huntington, county of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk
     9  county tax map number 0400-217.00-02.00-083.000. If accepted, the appli-
    10  cation  shall  be  reviewed  as if it had been received on or before the
    11  taxable status date 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  Huntington,  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 applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
    19  its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the refund of those taxes paid and
    20  cancel those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
    21  unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
