 AN  ACT  to amend the real property tax law, in relation to notification
   of a tax exemption for seniors
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Paragraph (a) of subdivision 6 of section 467 of the real
 property tax law, as amended by section 5 of part K of chapter 59 of the
 laws of 2023, is amended to read as follows:
   (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 the taxable status date and be approved in order  for
 the exemption to be granted. THE ASSESSING AUTHORITY SHALL MAIL A SECOND
 COPY  OF  THE APPLICATION AND NOTICE REQUIRED BY THIS SUBDIVISION THIRTY
 DAYS PRIOR TO THE APPROPRIATE TAXABLE STATUS  DATE  WHEN  THE  ASSESSING
 AUTHORITY  HAS  NOT  YET RECEIVED A COMPLETED APPLICATION. The assessing
 authority shall, within three days of the completion and filing  of  the
 tentative  assessment  roll, notify by mail any applicant whose applica-
 tion includes at least one self-addressed,  pre-paid  envelope,  of  the
 approval  or  denial  of  the  application;  provided, however, that the
 assessing authority shall, upon the receipt and filing of  the  applica-
 tion,  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 commissioner and shall state
 the reasons for such denial and shall further state that  the  applicant
 may  have  such  determination  reviewed  in the manner provided by law.
 Failure to mail any such application [form]  FORMS  or  notices  or  the
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
