        Introduced by M. of A. JAFFEE -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Real Property Taxation
 
        AN ACT to authorize the Rock Apostolic Church to retroactively apply for
          a  real  property  tax  exemption  for certain property in the town of
          Ramapo, county of Rockland
 

          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  Ramapo,  county of Rockland, is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from the Rock Apostolic Church  an  application  or
     4  renewal  application  for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to
     5  section 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2008 and 2009 assess-
     6  ment rolls, for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit church which  is
     7  located  at  33  Church  Street, village of Spring Valley in the town of
     8  Ramapo, county of Rockland, otherwise known as Rockland county tax  map,
     9  section 57.39, block 1, lot 52.  If accepted, the application or renewal
    10  application  shall  be  reviewed as if it had been received on or before

    11  the taxable status date established for such rolls.
    12    If satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise  be
    13  entitled to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had filed
    14  an  application  or renewal application for exemption by the appropriate
    15  taxable status date, the assessor, upon  approval  by  the  Ramapo  town
    16  board,  may  make  appropriate  correction to the subject rolls. If such
    17  exemption is granted and such organization, therefore, shall  have  paid
    18  any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable governing body
    19  or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of
    20  those  taxes  paid  and  cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or
    21  interest remaining unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
