AN ACT to amend the superstorm Sandy assessment relief act, in  relation
  to authorizing the payment of bills without prior audit

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

  Section 1. Paragraph (d) of section 4 of chapter 424 of  the  laws  of
2013,  constituting  the  superstorm  Sandy  assessment  relief  act, is
amended to read as follows:
  (d) The assessor shall mail written notice  of  such  finding  to  the
property  owner  and  the participating municipality. Where the assessor
finds that the loss in improved value is less than fifty percent or,  if
a  participating  municipality  has elected to provide assessment relief
for real property located within such participating municipality  for  a
lesser  percentage,  is  less than such lesser percentage, or classifies
the loss within a lower  range  than  the  property  owner  believes  is
warranted,  the  property  owner  may file a complaint with the board of
assessment review. Such board shall  reconvene  upon  ten  days  written
notice  to the property owner and assessor to hear the appeal and deter-
mine the matter, and shall mail written notice of its  determination  to
the assessor and property owner. The provisions of article 5 of the real
property tax law shall govern the review process to the extent practica-
ble.  HOWEVER,  FOR  THE  PURPOSES  OF THIS ACT ONLY, AN OFFICIAL WHO IS
EMPOWERED TO AUTHORIZE PAYMENT OF BILLS WITHOUT PRIOR AUDIT BY PARAGRAPH
(A) OF SUBDIVISION 8 OF SECTION 556 OF THE REAL PROPERTY TAX LAW,  SHALL
HAVE  SUCH  POWER  WHEN  THE  RECOMMENDED REFUND IS SEVENTY-FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS OR LESS, OR SUCH OTHER SUM NOT TO  EXCEED  SEVENTY-FIVE  HUNDRED
DOLLARS.  For  the purposes of this act only, the applicant may commence
within 30 days of service of a written determination, a proceeding under
title 1 of article 7 of the real property tax law,  or,  if  applicable,
under  title 1-A of article 7 of the real property tax law. Sections 727
and 739 of the real property tax law shall not apply.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
