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 Babylon is hereby authorized to accept from
3 Christian Congregation of Long Island, a religious not-for-profit corpo-
4 ration, an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant
5 to section 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to the 2023-
6 2024 assessment rolls for the parcel conveyed to such organization, with

10 If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
11 received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
12 rolls.

14 such exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property
15 and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
16 dates, the assessor, upon approval of the town of Babylon town board,
17 may grant exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections
18 to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such organiza-
19 tion, therefor, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject
20 rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole
21 discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those
22 taxes, fines, penalties, liens, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
