                                      June 8, 2016
                                       ___________
        Introduced  by  COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Lavine) --
          read once and referred to the Committee on Real Property Taxation
        AN ACT in relation to permitting the Islamic Center of  Long  Island  to
          file an application for certain real property tax exemptions
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the asses-
     2  sor of the county of Nassau is hereby  authorized  to  accept  from  the
     3  Islamic  Center  of  Long Island, an application for exemption from real
     4  property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
     5  for the 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 assessment rolls with respect
     6  to  the 2014, 2015 and 2016 general tax and the 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and
     7  2015-2016 school tax for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit  corpo-
     8  ration which is located at 14 Talbot Drive, village of Westbury, town of
     9  North  Hempstead, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county tax
    10  map section 11, block 376, lot 16.  If accepted, the  application  shall
    11  be  reviewed  as if it had been received on or before the taxable status
    12  date established for such rolls. If satisfied that  such  not-for-profit
    13  organization  would  otherwise  be  entitled  to such exemptions if such
    14  not-for-profit organization had filed an application  for  exemption  by
    15  the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor, upon approval by the
    16  Nassau county legislature may make appropriate correction to the subject
    17  rolls.  If such exemptions are granted and such organization, therefore,
    18  shall have paid any taxes with respect to the subject rolls, the  appli-
    19  cable  governing  body  or  tax  department may, in its sole discretion,
    20  provide for the refund of those  taxes  paid  and  cancel  those  taxes,
    21  fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
