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 Olean is hereby authorized to accept from
3 OWH Properties, Inc. (Operation Warm Hearts) 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 2025-2026 assessment roll for all
6 of the 2025-2026 school taxes and all of the 2025 general taxes for the
7 parcels conveyed to such organization located at 908 North 4th Street,

18 correction to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such
19 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
20 subject roll, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
21 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
22 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
23 unpaid.
24 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
