AN ACT authorizing the assessor of the city of Tonawanda to accept  from
  Historical  Society  of  the Tonawandas Inc. a retroactive application
  for exemption from real property

  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 Tonawanda, county of Erie, is hereby author-
ized  to accept from Historical Society of the Tonawandas Inc. as appli-
cation for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section  420-a
of  the  real  property  tax  law  for the 2015 assessment roll, for the
parcel owned by such organization located at 126 Broad  Street,  in  the
city  of  Tonawanda,  county of Erie, otherwise known as Erie county tax
map, section 55.15, block 2, lot 62.
  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 acquired the property  and  filed  an
application  by  the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
approval by the city council, may make appropriate  corrections  to  the
subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization, there-
fore,  shall  have  paid  any  tax with respect to the subject roll, 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.
