Introduced by Sen. CROCI -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

AN ACT in relation to permitting the Unitarian Universalist Congregation
of the Great South Bay Sayville to file an application for a real
property tax exemption
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 town of Islip is hereby authorized to accept from
the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Great South Bay Sayville,
a not-for-profit organization, an application for exemption from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
for the 2015-2016, 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 assessment rolls, for the
parcel owned by such organization in the town of Islip located at 11
Collins Avenue in Sayville also known as district 0500, section 383.00,
block 02.00, lot 001.00.
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 corporation would otherwise
be entitled to such exemption if the organization had filed an applica-
tion for such exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the
assessor of the town of Islip upon approval by the town of Islip town
board may grant exemption from taxation with respect to the subject
rolls and make appropriate correction to the subject rolls. If the
exemption is granted and such not-for-profit corporation shall have paid
any tax with regard to the subject rolls, the town of Islip town board
may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid
and cancel taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
