Introduced by Sen. MARCELLINO -- read twice and ordered printed, and
when printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
AN ACT in relation to permitting the MiYaD Center for Jewish Life to
file an application for certain 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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
the MiYaD Center for Jewish Life of Jericho an application for
exemptions from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the
real property tax law for the 2013-2014 assessment roll, for the parcel
located at 82 Forsythia Lane, village of Jericho, town of Oyster Bay,
county of Nassau.
If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
If satisfied that such synagogue would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such synagogue had acquired the subject property and filed
an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the
assessor, upon the approval by Nassau county legislature, may grant
exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections to the
subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such synagogue therefore
shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the governing
body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties,
interest or tax liens 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.
