        Introduced  by Sen. KAMINSKY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
        AN ACT in relation to permitting the Bridge Church to file  an  applica-
          tion 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 any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
     3  the Bridge Church, an application  for  exemptions  from  real  property
     4  taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for part of
     5  the  2013-2014  assessment  roll  with  respect to a portion of the 2014
     6  general tax and the 2013-2014 school tax for the parcel  owned  by  such
     7  not-for-profit  corporation  which  is  located at 16 Cathy Court in the
     8  village of Malverne,  the  town  of  Hempstead,  county  of  Nassau.  If
     9  accepted,  the  application shall be reviewed as if it had been received
    10  on or before the taxable status date  established  for  such  rolls.  If
    11  satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be enti-
    12  tled to such exemptions if such not-for-profit organization had filed an
    13  application  for exemptions by the appropriate taxable status dates, the
    14  assessor, upon approval by the Nassau county legislature may make appro-
    15  priate correction to the subject rolls. If such exemptions  are  granted
    16  and such organization, therefore, shall have paid any taxes with respect
    17  to  the  subject  rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department
    18  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes  paid
    19  and  cancel  those taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest remaining
    20  unpaid.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
