        Introduced  by  Sen.  BOYLE  -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules
        AN ACT in relation to permitting Patchogue  Fire  District  to  file  an
          application for a retroactive real property tax exemption
          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 is hereby  authorized  to  accept
     3  from Patchogue Fire District, a not-for-profit organization, an applica-
     4  tion for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of
     5  the real property tax law for the 2015-2016 assessment roll, for parcels
     6  owned  by such organization located in the town of Brookhaven located at
     7  29 Jennings Avenue also known as district 0204,  section  009.00,  block
     8  02.00,  lot  012.000  and  25  Park  Street also known as district 0204,

    10  also known as district 0204, section 017.00, block 4.00, lot 025.000.
    11    If  accepted,  the  application  shall  be  reviewed as if it had been
    12  received on or before the  taxable  status  date  established  for  such

    14  be  entitled to such exemption if the organization had filed an applica-
    15  tion for such exemption by the  appropriate  taxable  status  date,  the
    16  assessor of the town of Brookhaven upon approval by the town of Brookha-
    17  ven  town  board  may  grant exemption from taxation with respect to the
    18  subject rolls and make appropriate correction to the subject rolls.   If
    19  the  exemption is granted and such not-for-profit corporation shall have
    20  paid any tax with regard to the subject rolls, the  town  of  Brookhaven
    21  town  board may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those
    22  taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remain-
    23  ing unpaid.
    24    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
