AN ACT to authorize First Unitarian Society  to  file  applications  for
  real property tax exemptions

  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 city of Schenectady is hereby authorized  to  accept
from  First  Unitarian  Society,  applications  for exemptions from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
for the 2008 and 2009 real property taxes for the parcels owned by First
Unitarian  Society  located  in  the city of Schenectady at 1227 Wendell
Avenue, Schenectady, otherwise known as section 39.67, block 1,  lot  3;
1248  Wendell  Street,  otherwise  known  as section 39.68, block 1, lot
34.1. If accepted, the applications shall be reviewed  as  if  they  had
been  received  on or before the taxable status date established for the
imposition of such taxes.   If satisfied that  First  Unitarian  Society
would  otherwise  be  entitled  to  such  exemptions if it had filed the
applications for the exemptions by the appropriate taxable status dates,
the assessor of the city of Schenectady may upon approval  by  the  city
council  of  such city, grant exemptions from real property taxation for
the 2008 and 2009 tax years and owing by such  not-for-profit  organiza-
tion  on the effective date of this act, and make appropriate correction
of the applicable rolls.  If such exemptions are  granted  and  if  such
not-for-profit  organization 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 or interest remaining unpaid.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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