AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in  relation  to  eliminating

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Subdivision 6 of section 467 of the real property tax law,
as amended by chapter 395 of the laws of 1989, and  paragraphs  (b)  and
(c) as amended by chapter 471 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as
follows:
  6.  (a)  [At  least sixty days prior to the appropriate taxable status
date, the assessing authority shall mail to each person who was  granted
exemption  pursuant  to  this section on the latest completed assessment
roll an application form and a notice  that  such  application  must  be
filed  on or before taxable status date and be approved in order for the
exemption to be granted.] The assessing authority  shall,  within  three
days  of  the  completion  and  filing of the tentative assessment roll,
notify by mail any applicant who has included with his OR  HER  applica-
tion  at least one self-addressed, pre-paid envelope, of the approval or
denial of the application; provided, however, that the assessing author-
ity shall, upon the receipt and filing of the application, send by  mail
notification  of  receipt  to any applicant who has included two of such
envelopes with the application.   Where an applicant is  entitled  to  a
notice of denial pursuant to this subdivision, such notice shall be on a
form  prescribed by the state board and shall state the reasons for such
denial and shall further state that the applicant may have such determi-
nation reviewed in the manner provided by law.  Failure to mail any such
application form or notices or the failure of such person to receive any
of the same shall not prevent the levy, collection  and  enforcement  of
the payment of the taxes on property owned by such person.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
