AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the county of Nassau to accept an

town of Hempstead
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 Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, Inc. an application for exemption from real
4 property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
5 for the assessment roll as to which January 2, 2008 was the taxable
6 status date with respect to the general tax for the 2008 assessment roll
7 and the school taxes for the 2008-2009 school tax roll, for the parcel
8 acquired by Merkos L'Inyonei Chinuch, Inc. on May 15, 2007, located in
9 the town of Hempstead at 3000 Lawson Boulevard, Oceanside, otherwise
10 known as section 43, block 348, lot 157 and 158. If accepted, the appli-
11 cation shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the
12 taxable status date established for such roll.
13 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to
14 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
15 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
16 approval of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all
17 taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the property by such
18 organization and make appropriate correction to the subject roll. If
19 such exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have
20 paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the governing body or tax
21 department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those
22 taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens
23 remaining unpaid.
24 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
