AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to extending real
  property exemption for veterans' organizations to include property  so
  owned  which  is  occupied by any person although not also entitled to
  exemption

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative  findings and purpose. The legislature hereby
finds and declares that, presently, most veterans' organizations support
their charitable, educational, and veterans' programs by  renting  space
in their buildings. However, if the renter/tenant is not an exempt enti-
ty,  the  rental  portion  is  taxable.  This taxation has a devastating
effect on the posts' maintenance and programs.
  S 2. Section 452 of the  real  property  tax  law,  subdivision  1  as
amended by chapter 610 of the laws of 1960 and subdivision 3 as added by
chapter 524 of the laws of 1986, is amended to read as follows:
  S  452. Veterans organizations. 1. Real property owned by AN ORGANIZA-
TION OF PERSONS ORGANIZED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION  TWO  OF
THE BENEVOLENT ORDERS LAW OR a corporation, association or post composed
of veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
Disabled  American Veterans, the United Spanish War Veterans, the Jewish
War Veterans of the United States, Inc., Catholic  War  Veterans,  Inc.,
the  American Legion, AMVETS, American Veterans of World War II, Italian
American War Veterans of the United States,  Incorporated,  Masonic  War
Veterans  of  the  State of New York, Incorporated, and any other corpo-
ration or association of veterans of the  armed  forces  of  the  United
States  in  any  war,  [actually  and exclusively used and occupied] THE
ENTIRE NET INCOME OF WHICH REAL PROPERTY IS EXCLUSIVELY APPLIED OR TO BE
USED TO THE CARRYING, MAINTENANCE AND DEPRECIATION CHARGES OF THE  PROP-
ERTY  OR  PORTION  THEREOF, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND THE REMAINDER TO THE

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
