  located in the town of Hempstead

  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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the Town of Hempstead an appli-
cation for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section  420-a
of  the  real  property  tax law with respect to the general tax for the
2010 assessment roll and the school taxes for the  2009-2010  assessment
roll, for the parcel located in the town of Hempstead at 11 West Jamaica

  If accepted, the application shall be  reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
received  on  or  before  the  taxable  status date established for such

  If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
approval  of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all
taxation beginning with the date of acquisition  of  the  properties  by
such organization and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls.
If  such exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have
paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the  governing  body  or
tax  department  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of
those taxes paid and cancel taxes, fines,  penalties,  interest  or  tax
liens remaining unpaid.
