        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 Kehillas B'nai HaYeshivos  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 any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
     3  Kehillas B'nai HaYeshivos, an application for exemptions from real prop-
     4  erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property  tax  law  for
     5  part  of  the 2013-2015 and 2014-2015 assessment rolls with respect to a
     6  portion of the 2014 and 2015 general tax and the  2014-2015  school  tax
     7  for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit corporation which is located
     8  at  575  Hungry Harbor Road in the hamlet of South Valley Stream, county
     9  of Nassau. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if they had
    10  been received on or before the taxable status date established for  such
    11  rolls.  If  satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would other-
    12  wise be entitled to such exemptions if such not-for-profit  organization
    13  had  filed  an  application  for  exemptions  by the appropriate taxable
    14  status dates, the assessor, upon approval by the Nassau county  legisla-
    15  ture  may  make  appropriate  correction  to  the subject rolls. If such
    16  exemptions are granted and such organization, therefore, shall have paid
    17  any taxes with respect to the subject rolls,  the  applicable  governing
    18  body  or  tax  department  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the
    19  refund of those taxes paid and cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,
    20  liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
    21    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
