        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 Mandala Buddhist Association, an  application  for  exemptions  from
     4  real  property  taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax
     5  law for part of the 2013-2014 assessment roll with respect to  the  2014
     6  general  tax  and  the  2013-2014  school tax, for part of the 2014-2015
     7  assessment roll with respect to a portion of the 2015  general  tax  and
     8  2014-2015  school  tax and the 2015-2016 assessment roll with respect to
     9  the 2016 general tax and 2015-2016 school tax for the  parcel  owned  by
    10  such  not-for-profit  corporation  which  is located at 27 Powells Lane,
    11  village of Old Westbury, town of  North  Hempstead,  county  of  Nassau,
    12  otherwise  known  as  Nassau county tax map section 17, block 16, lot 4,
    13  and 456 Duck Pond Road, village of Locust Valley, town  of  Oyster  Bay,
    14  county  of  Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county tax map section 23,
    15  block B, lot 455 and section 23, block B,  lot  456.  If  accepted,  the
    16  application  shall  be  reviewed as if it had been received on or before
    17  the taxable status date established for such rolls.  If  satisfied  that
    18  such  not-for-profit  organization  would  otherwise be entitled to such
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD10601-07-6
        S. 4879--C                          2
 
     1  exemptions if such not-for-profit organization had filed an  application
     2  for  exemptions  by  the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor,
     3  upon approval by the Nassau  county  legislature  may  make  appropriate
     4  correction to the subject rolls. If such exemptions are granted and such
     5  organization,  therefore,  shall have paid any taxes with respect to the
     6  subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
     7  its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the refund of those taxes paid and
     8  cancel those taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens,  or  interest  remaining
     9  unpaid.
    10    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
