AN ACT authorizing the Hindu Welfare Association of New York, Inc. to
receive retroactive real property tax exempt status
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 Hindu Welfare Association of New York, Inc. an application for
4 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
5 property tax law for part of the 2014 and the full year of the 2015
6 general assessment rolls, the second half of the 2013-2014 and the full
7 year 2014-2015 school tax year assessment rolls, for the parcel conveyed
8 to such organization, with such parcel being located in the hamlet of
9 Bethpage, 729 South Oyster Bay Road, otherwise known as Nassau county
10 parcel ID section 46 block 370 lots 1A, 1B, 18, and 19. If accepted, the
11 application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before
12 the 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 by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate
17 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
18 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
19 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
20 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
21 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
22 unpaid.
23 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
