AN ACT in relation to permitting Congregation Gates of Prayer 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
Congregation  Gates  of  Prayer, an application for exemptions from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
for part of the 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 assessment rolls with
respect  to  a  portion  of  the 2014, 2015 and 2016 general tax and the
2014-2015 and 2015-2016 school tax for the parcel owned by such not-for-
profit entity which is located at 138  Hards  Lane  in  the  village  of
Lawrence,  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 rolls. If satisfied that such not-for-profit organ-
ization would otherwise be entitled to such exemptions if such  not-for-
profit  organization  had  filed  an  application  for exemptions by the
appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor,  upon  approval  by  the
Nassau county legislature may make appropriate correction to the subject
rolls.  If such exemptions are granted and such organization, therefore,
shall have paid any taxes with respect to the subject rolls, the  appli-
cable  governing  body  or  tax  department may, in its sole discretion,
provide for the refund of those  taxes  paid  and  cancel  those  taxes,
fines, penalties, liens, 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.
