AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Hunting-

application for exemption from real property taxes
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 Huntington, county of Suffolk, is hereby
3 authorized to accept from the Joshua Baptist Church 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 2017-2018, 2018-2019 and 2019-2020
6 assessment rolls, for the parcels owned by such organization, with such
7 parcels being located at 376 Broadway Greenlawn, in the town of Hunting-
8 ton, county of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk county tax map
9 section 211 block 2 lots 49, 50, 51 and 52. If accepted, the application
10 shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable
11 status date established for such rolls.
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 Suffolk 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
19 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
20 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
21 unpaid.
22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
