cy
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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
3 the Incorporated Village of Hempstead Community Development Agency an
4 application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section
5 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to the 2020-2021 assess-
6 ment roll for all of the 2020-2021 school taxes and all of the 2021

10 the application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or
11 before the taxable status date established for such roll.
12 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to
13 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
14 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
15 approval by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate
16 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
17 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
18 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
