AN  ACT authorizing Kollell Shas Keren Hatorah, Inc. to file an applica-
  tion for exemption from real property taxes  for  certain  parcels  of
  land located in the town of Ramapo, county of Rockland

  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 town of Ramapo is hereby authorized to  accept  from
Kollell  Shas  Keren Hatorah, Inc., applications for exemption from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
for the 2008 assessment roll, for the parcels owned by such organization
located in the town of Ramapo at 9 and 11 Weiner Dr., Monsey, identified
as section 49.15, block 2, lots 50.1 and 50.2. If accepted, the applica-
tions  shall  be  reviewed as if they had been received on or before the
taxable status date established for such roll.
  If satisfied that such not-for-profit corporation would  otherwise  be
entitled  to  such exemptions if the organization had filed applications
for such exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the  assessor
of  the  town of Ramapo, upon approval by the town of Ramapo town board,
may grant exemption from taxation with respect to the subject  roll  and
make  appropriate  correction  to  the subject roll. If the exemption is
granted and such not-for-profit corporation shall have paid any tax with
regard to the subject roll, the town of Ramapo town board  may,  in  its
sole  discretion,  provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel
taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
