       Introduced  by  Sen.  OPPENHEIMER -- read twice and ordered printed, and
         when printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
       AN ACT to authorize the Beth El Synagogue of New Rochelle to apply for a
         real property tax exemption for certain property in the  city  of  New
         Rochelle, county of Westchester
         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 city of New  Rochelle,  county  of  Westchester,  is
    3  hereby  authorized  to accept from the Beth El Synagogue of New Rochelle
    4  an application for  exemption  from  real  property  taxes  pursuant  to
    5  section  420-a of the real property tax law for the 2011-2012 assessment
    6  roll, for the parcel owned by such  not-for-profit  synagogue  which  is
    7  located  at  68  Old Orchard Road, city of New Rochelle, county of West-
    8  chester, otherwise known as New Rochelle tax map block  and  lot  number
    9  1814-0026.  If  accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
   10  been received on or before the taxable status date established for  such
   11  roll.
   12    If  satisfied  that  Beth  El Synagogue would otherwise be entitled to
   13  such exemption if such  not-for-profit  organization  had  acquired  the
   14  subject property and filed an application for exemption by the appropri-
   15  ate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the New Rochelle
   16  City  Council,  may  make appropriate correction to the subject roll. If
   17  such exemption is granted and such organization, therefore,  shall  have
   18  paid  any tax with respect to the subject roll, the applicable governing
   19  body or tax department may, in its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the
   20  refund  of  those  taxes  paid and cancel those taxes, fines, penalties,
   21  liens or interest remaining unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
