AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Brookha-
ven, county of Suffolk, to accept an application for a real property
tax exemption from Ministerios Sion, Inc.
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, county of Suffolk, is hereby
3 authorized to accept from Ministerios Sion, Inc. an application for
4 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
5 property tax law with respect to the 2023-2024 assessment roll for all
6 of the 2024 general taxes and all of the 2023-2024 school taxes for the
7 parcel owned by such organization located at 168 Locust Drive, in the
8 hamlet of Mastic Beach, town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, otherwise
9 known as Suffolk county tax map district 0200, section 979.00, block
10 13.00, lots 25 and 26. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as
11 if it had been received on or before the taxable status date established
12 for such assessment roll.
13 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to
14 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
15 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
16 approval by the Brookhaven town board, may make appropriate correction
17 to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization,
18 therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the
19 applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
20 provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those taxes,
21 fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
