Introduced by Sen. MARCELLINO -- read twice and ordered printed, and
when printed to be committed to the Committee on Rules
AN ACT authorizing the Hindu Welfare Association of New York, Inc. to
receive retroactive real property tax exempt status
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 Hindu Welfare Association of New York, Inc. an application for
exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
property tax law for part of the 2014 and the full year of the 2015
general assessment rolls, the second half of the 2013-2014 and the full
year 2014-2015 school tax year assessment rolls, for the parcel conveyed
to such organization, with such parcel being located in the hamlet of
Bethpage, 729 South Oyster Bay Road, otherwise known as Nassau county
parcel ID section 46 block 370 lots 1A, 1B, 18, and 19. 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 organization would otherwise be entitled to
such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
approval by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate
correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
subject rolls, the applicable 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.
