 AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the town of  Haverstraw,  county  of
   Rockland,  to  accept from Hi Tor Animal Care Center, Inc. an applica-
   tion for exemption from real property taxes

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the  assessor  of  the town of Haverstraw, county of Rockland, is hereby
 authorized to accept from Hi Tor Animal Care Center, Inc. an application
 for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of  the
 real property tax law for the 2017 assessment roll, for the parcel owned
 by  such organization located at 221 Ramapo Road, in the village of West
 Haverstraw within the town of Haverstraw, county of Rockland,  otherwise
 known  as  Rockland  county  tax map, section 26.11, block 2, lot 58. If
 accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had  been  received
 on or before the taxable status date established for such rolls.
   If  satisfied  that  such  organization would otherwise be entitled to
 such exemption if such organization had acquired the property and  filed
 an  application  by  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor,
 upon approval by the town board, may make appropriate corrections to the
 subject rolls. If such  exemption  is  granted  and  such  organization,
 therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls,
 the applicable governing  body  or  tax  department  may,  in  its  sole
 discretion,  provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those
 taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
