 Introduced  by  M.  of  A.  MONTESANO  --  read once and referred to the
   Committee on Real Property Taxation
 
 AN ACT in relation to authorizing the Nassau county assessor  to  accept
   an  application  from  the  town of Oyster Bay for a real property tax
   exemption
 
   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  Nassau county assessor is hereby authorized to accept from the town
 of Oyster Bay, a municipal corporation,  an  application  for  exemption
 from  real  property  taxes pursuant to section 406 of the real property
 tax law with respect to the 2019-2020 school taxes and the 2019 and 2020
 general tax rolls, for the parcel acquired by such municipal corporation
 on May 6, 2019 which is located at 8 Washington Street, Bethpage, county
 of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county tax map district section 46,
 block 102, lots 46, 47, 48 and 49. If accepted, the application shall be
 reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
 established for such assessment rolls.
   If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
 such  exemption  if  such municipal corporation had filed an application
 for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
 approval  by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make   appropriate
 correction  to  the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
 municipal corporation, 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.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
