Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, 2 the assessor of the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, is hereby 3 authorized to accept from Ekklesia Long Island Center Ministries an 4 application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 5 420-a of the real property tax law for the 2019-2020 assessment roll and 6 the 2020-2021 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such organization 7 located at 134 Mastic Boulevard West in Shirley, in the town of Brookha- 8 ven, county of Suffolk, otherwise known as district 0200, section 9 880.00, block 01.00, lot 005.000. If accepted, the application shall be 10 reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date 11 established for such 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 town board of Brookhaven, 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 town board of Brookhaven may, in its sole discretion, 19 provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those taxes, 20 fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid. 21 § 2.
