        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the assessor of the city of Tonawanda, county of Erie, is hereby author-
     3  ized  to accept from Historical Society of the Tonawandas Inc. as appli-
     4  cation for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section  420-a
     5  of  the  real  property  tax  law  for the 2015 assessment roll, for the
     6  parcel owned by such organization located at 126 Broad  Street,  in  the
     7  city  of  Tonawanda,  county of Erie, otherwise known as Erie county tax
     8  map, section 39.53, block 12, lot 2.
     9    If accepted, the application shall be  reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
    10  received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
    11  If  satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to such
    12  exemption if such organization had acquired the property  and  filed  an
    13  application  by  the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
    14  approval by the city council, may make appropriate  corrections  to  the
    15  subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization, there-
    16  fore,  shall  have  paid  any  tax with respect to the subject roll, the
    17  applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
    18  provide for the refund of those  taxes  paid  and  cancel  those  taxes,
    19  fines, penalties, liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
