        AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town  of  Hunting-
          ton,  county  of Suffolk, to accept from Chabad Lubavitch Chai Center,
          Inc., an application for exemption from real property taxes

          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  town of Huntington, county of Suffolk, is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from Chabad Lubavitch Chai Center, Inc. an applica-
     4  tion for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of
     5  the real property tax law, with  respect  to  the  2018-2019  assessment
     6  rolls,  for  the  parcels  owned by such organization, with such parcels
     7  being located at 46 Candlewood Path, in the town of  Huntington,  county
     8  of  Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk county tax map section 262 block
     9  2 lot 3. 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  rolls.
    12    If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
    13  such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
    14  exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
    15  approval  by  the  Suffolk  county  legislature,  may  make  appropriate
    16  correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted  and  such
    17  organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the
    18  subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
    19  its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the refund of those taxes paid and
    20  cancel those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
    21  unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
