The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the asses-
2 sor of the town of Brookhaven is hereby authorized to accept from the

7 Avenue in the hamlet of East Patchogue, also known as district 0200,

9 shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable
10 status date established for such assessment rolls.

12 exemption if such corporation had filed an application for exemption by
13 the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval of the
14 town of Brookhaven town board, may grant exemption from taxation on such
15 assessment rolls and make the appropriate corrections of the subject
16 rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation, therefore, shall
17 have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable
18 governing body or tax departments, in their sole discretion, shall
19 provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines or penal-
20 ties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
21 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
