         THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
    2  the assessor of the town of Ramapo is hereby authorized to  accept  from
    3  the  Congregation  Mesifta Beth Shraga an application for exemption from
    4  real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax
    5  law  for  the  2007  assessment roll for the parcel owned by the Congre-
    6  gation Mesifta Beth Shraga, located in the town of  Ramapo  at  96  Camp
    7  Hill  Road  in  the  hamlet  of Monsey, otherwise known as section 33.5,
    8  block 2, lot 3.  If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it
    9  had been received on or before the taxable status date  established  for
   10  such roll.
   11    If satisfied that the Congregation Mesifta Beth Shraga would otherwise
   12  be  entitled  to  such  exemption  if  it  had  filed an application for
   13  exemption by the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor  of  the
   14  town  of  Ramapo may upon approval by the town board of such town, grant
   15  exemption from all taxation beginning with the date  of  acquisition  of
   16  the  property by the Congregation Mesifta Beth Shraga and make appropri-
   17  ate correction to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and  if
   18  such  corporation  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the subject
   19  roll, the governing body or tax department may, in its sole  discretion,
   20  provide  for  the  refund  of  those taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines,
   21  penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
