The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:

4 taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for the
5 2018 city assessment roll, for the parcel located at 58 West Seventh
6 Street in the city of Mount Vernon. If accepted, the application shall
7 be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status
8 date established for such rolls. If satisfied that the Asbury Methodist

10 ical error, the assessor, upon approval by the city council of the city
11 of Mount Vernon may grant exemption from taxation on such assessment
12 roll and make the appropriate correction of the subject roll. If the
13 exemption is granted and such entity, therefore, shall have paid any tax
14 with respect to the subject roll, the applicable governing body or tax
15 departments, in their sole discretion, shall provide for the refund of
16 the taxes paid and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
17 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
