AN ACT to authorize New Creation in Christ Ministries to file an appli-
cation for 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 city of Schenectady is hereby authorized to accept
3 from New Creation in Christ Ministries, Inc. an application for
4 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
5 property tax law for the 2008 assessment roll for the parcel owned by
6 such not-for-profit organization which is located in the city of Sche-
7 nectady, county of Schenectady at 1073 Howard Street, otherwise known as
8 section 49.55, block 5, lot 30. If accepted, such application shall be
9 reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
10 established for such roll.
11 If satisfied that New Creation in Christ Ministries, Inc. would
12 otherwise be entitled to such exemption if it had filed an application
13 for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor of
14 the city of Schenectady may upon approval by the city council of such
15 city, grant exemption from taxation based on the 2008 assessment roll
16 and owing by such not-for-profit organization on the effective date of
17 this act, and make appropriate correction of the subject roll. If such
18 exemption is granted and if such not-for-profit organization shall have
19 paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the governing body or tax
20 department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those
21 taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining
22 unpaid.
23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
