       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section 1. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 6 of section 425 of  the  real
    2  property  tax  law, as amended by chapter 531 of the laws of 2006 and as
    3  further amended by subdivision (b) of section 1 of part W of chapter  56
    4  of the laws of 2010, is amended to read as follows:
    5    (b)  Approval  or  denial of application. If the assessor is satisfied
    6  that the applicant or applicants are entitled to an  exemption  pursuant
    7  to  this  section, he or she shall approve the application and such real
    8  property shall thereafter be exempt from  school  district  taxation  as
    9  provided  herein.  UPON  RECEIPT  OF  AN APPLICATION, THE ASSESSOR SHALL
   10  PROVIDE THE APPLICANT WITH WRITTEN PROOF  OF  SUCH  SUBMISSION.  If  the
   11  assessor determines that the applicant or applicants are not entitled to
   12  an  exemption  pursuant to this section, he or she shall, not later than
   13  ten days prior to the date for hearing complaints in relation to assess-
   14  ments, mail to each applicant not entitled to the exemption a notice  of
   15  denial  of  that  application  for  the  exemption herein for that year;
   16  except that in the city of New York, such notice  shall  be  mailed  not
   17  later  than thirty days prior to the final date for filing an assessment
   18  appeal as set forth in paragraph (b-1) of this subdivision.  The  notice
   19  of denial shall specify each reason for such denial and shall be sent on
   20  a  form  prescribed by the commissioner. Failure to mail any such notice
   21  of denial or the failure of any person to receive such notice shall  not
   22  prevent  the  levy,  collection and enforcement of the taxes on property
   23  owned by such person.
   24    S 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next  succeed-
   25  ing the date on which it shall have become a law.
