AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation to proceedings to
  review assessments

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

  Section  1. Subdivision 2 of section 706 of the real property tax law,
as amended by chapter 714 of the laws of 1982, is  amended  to  read  as
follows:
  2.  A proceeding to review an assessment shall be founded upon a peti-
tion setting forth the respect in which  the  assessment  is  excessive,
unequal or unlawful, or the respect in which real property is misclassi-
fied    and  stating  that the petitioner is or will be injured thereby.
Such petition shall be duly verified by the petitioner, an officer ther-
eof, or by an agent thereof who has been authorized in writing to verify
and file such petition and whose authorization is made a  part  of  such
petition.  Such petition must show that a complaint was made in due time
to the proper officers to correct such assessment.  Two or more  persons
having  real  property  assessed  upon the same roll who assert the same
grounds for review presenting a common question  of  law  or  fact,  may
unite in the same petition, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN A SPECIAL ASSESS-
ING  UNIT,  AS  DEFINED IN SECTION EIGHTEEN HUNDRED ONE OF THIS CHAPTER,
WHICH IS NOT A CITY, TWO OR MORE PERSONS HAVING REAL  PROPERTY  ASSESSED
UPON  THE SAME ROLL, WHO ASSERT THE SAME GROUNDS FOR REVIEW, MAY WITHOUT
CONDITION OR LIMITATION UNITE IN THE SAME PETITION.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall  apply  to  real
property with a taxable status date on January 1, 2008.
