          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 Farmingdale public library an application for  exemption  from  real
     4  property  taxes  pursuant  to section 420-a of the real property tax law

     5  for a portion of the 2011-2012 assessment roll and the 2012-2013 assess-
     6  ment roll, for the parcel located in the  town  of  Oyster  Bay  at  120
     7  Merritts Road, Farmingdale, otherwise known as: section 49, block H, lot
     8  558.
     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
    12  such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
    13  exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
    14  approval  of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all
    15  taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject roll.  If  such
    16  exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have paid any
    17  tax  with respect to the subject roll, the governing body or tax depart-

    18  ment may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those  taxes
    19  paid  and  cancel  any  taxes,  fines,  penalties, interest or tax liens
    20  remaining unpaid.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
