AN ACT to authorize the town of Friendship, in the county  of  Allegany,
  to  correct  its 2012 tax roll and grant a real property tax refund or
  credit

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

  Section  1. Notwithstanding any provision of the town law, the general
municipal law or the real property tax law to the contrary, the town  of
Friendship,  in the county of Allegany, is hereby authorized to recalcu-
late its 2012 tax levy. Before the final recalculation of the tax  levy,
the  town board of such town shall hold a public hearing on the recalcu-
lation in the manner specified in section 108 of the town law.  As  part
of the initial recalculation and prior to the public hearing, the budget
officer  shall  prepare  documents  showing:  (i) basis of the miscalcu-
lations leading to the twenty-three percent overcharge in the  2012  tax
levy  pertaining to the general fund and highway department budgets; and
(ii) the necessary reductions and/or changes in  appropriations  to  the
town  general  fund and highway department. After the public hearing and
upon the adoption of a resolution, specifying the final  amount  of  the
tax levy and amended appropriations, the town may issue an order setting
forth the corrected taxes, direct the officer having jurisdiction of the
tax  roll  to  correct such roll, refund any excess taxes paid or credit
any outstanding tax obligations due; provided,  however,  that  interest
and  penalties on delinquent 2012 town taxes, whether accruing before or
after the effective date of this act, shall  only  be  computed  on  the
amount of corrected taxes, and any payment of interest in excess of that
amount  so  computed  shall  be  added to a refund made pursuant to this
section.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, if the
town of Friendship does not hold the public hearing required pursuant to
section one of this act within 45 days of such effective date, this  act
shall expire and be deemed repealed 45 days after it shall take effect.
