       Introduced  by  Sen. MARTINS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
         printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
       AN ACT to authorize the  India  Association  of  Long  Island,  Inc.  to
         retroactively  apply  for  a  real  property tax exemption for certain
         properties in the hamlet of Hicksville, county of Nassau
         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  India Association of Long Island, Inc. an application for exemption
    4  from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property
    5  tax  law  for the 2014-2015 assessment roll with respect to school taxes
    6  and the 2015 assessment roll with respect to the general taxes, for  the
    7  parcel  owned  by such not-for-profit association which is located at 92
    8  East Old Country Road, hamlet of Hicksville in the town of  Oyster  Bay,
    9  County  of  Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county tax map section 12,
   10  block 85, lots 56 and 57. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed
   11  as if it has been received on or before the taxable status  date  estab-
   12  lished for such rolls.
   13    If satisfied that such  not-for-profit organization would otherwise be
   14  entitled to such exemption if such not-for-profit organization had filed
   15  applications  or  renewal applications for exemptions by the appropriate
   16  taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by  the  Nassau  county
   17  legislature,  may  make  appropriate correction to the subject rolls. If
   18  such exemption is granted and such organization, therefore,  shall  have
   19  paid any taxes with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable govern-
   20  ing  body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
   21  refund of those taxes paid and cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,
   22  liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
   23    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
