AN ACT to amend the real property tax law,  in  relation  to  review  of
  assessments in special assessing units, which are not cities

  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  thereof,
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  peti-
tion.  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,  IN THE SAME CLASS OF REAL PROPERTY AS DEFINED IN
SECTION EIGHTEEN HUNDRED TWO  OF  THIS  CHAPTER,  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 or after January 1, 2013.


 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
