AN ACT to authorize Mahasi Satipatthana Meditation  Center  to  file  an
  application for exemption from real property taxes for certain assess-
  ment rolls

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

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the village of New Hyde Park  is  hereby  authorized  to
accept  from  Mahasi  Satipatthana  Meditation  Center, a not-for-profit
corporation, an application  for  exemption  from  real  property  taxes
pursuant  to  section 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to
the 2014-2015 assessment rolls, for the parcel owned  by  such  not-for-
profit corporation which is located at 34 Ashland Avenue, village of New
Hyde  Park,  county  of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county tax map
section 8, block 172, lot 1110. If accepted, the  application  shall  be
reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
established for such assessment rolls.
  If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption  if such corporation had filed an application for exemption by
the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor upon approval  of  the
New  Hyde  Park Board of Trustees, may grant exemption from all taxation
with respect to the subject tax rolls due and owing by such not-for-pro-
fit corporation on the effective date of  this  act  and  cancel  taxes,
fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid, and make appropri-
ate correction of the subject assessment rolls.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
