 AN ACT to amend chapter 381 of the laws of 2023 relating to  authorizing
   the  Ruth AME Zion Church to file with the town of Brookhaven assessor
   an application for certain real property tax exemptions,  in  relation
   to correcting the reference to the applicable tax assessment roll
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Section 1 of chapter 381 of the laws of  2023  relating  to
 authorizing the Ruth AME Zion Church to file with the town of Brookhaven
 assessor  an  application  for  certain real property tax exemptions, is
 amended to read as follows:
   Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the assessor of the town of Brookhaven, county  of  Suffolk,  is  hereby
 authorized  to  accept  from the Ruth AME Zion Church an application for
 exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
 property tax law for the [2020] 2021 assessment  roll,  for  the  parcel
 owned  by  such organization located at 105 Station Road in Bellport, in
 the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, otherwise  known  as  Suffolk
 county tax map number 0202-002.00-02.00-011.001. If accepted, the appli-
 cation  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  filed  an  application for
 exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
 approval   by  the  town  board  of  Brookhaven,  may  make  appropriate
 correction 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 town board of Brookhaven 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.
