                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  Sen. BRESLIN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules
 
        AN ACT authorizing the assessor of the city of Troy to accept  from  the
          Sixth  Avenue  Baptist  Church  an application for exemption from real
          property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
 
          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 city of Troy is hereby authorized to accept from the
     3  Sixth Avenue Baptist Church an application for exemption from real prop-
     4  erty  taxes  pursuant  to section 420-a of the real property tax law for
     5  the 2012, 2013 and 2014 assessment rolls for the parcel located  in  the
     6  city  of  Troy  at 3370 Sixth Avenue, otherwise known as: section 90.55,
     7  block 3, lot 1.
     8    If accepted, such application shall be reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
     9  received  on  or  before  the  taxable status dates established for such
    10  rolls. If satisfied that such church would otherwise be entitled to such
    11  exemption if such church had filed an application for exemption  by  the
    12  appropriate  taxable  status  dates,  the assessor, upon approval of the
    13  common council of the city of Troy, may grant exemption from  all  taxa-
    14  tion  and  make  appropriate  corrections  to the subject rolls. If such
    15  exemption is granted and such church therefore shall have paid  any  tax
    16  with  respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax department
    17  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes  paid
    18  and  cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens remaining
    19  unpaid.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
