                                 BILL NUMBER:  S6840

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to authorize the Bais Rochel High School to file an application
for exemption from water and sewer charges

 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to authorize the New York City Department
of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) to accept an application for
exemption from water and sewer charges from a not-for-profit
organization for fiscal years 2015 through 2016.

 SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS :

Section one of this bill would authorize the NYC DEP to accept an
application from Bais Rochel High school for exemption from water and
sewer charges pursuant to Chapter 696 of the Laws of 1887, as amended,
for the fiscal years of 2014-2015. If such application is accepted
this legislation would require the application to be reviewed as if it
had been received for fiscal years 2014 through 2015.

If satisfied that the Moses Jacobwitz Charitable Foundation would
otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such application had been
filed, this legislation would authorize the NYC DEP commissioner, upon

the approval by the NYC Council, to grant exemption from all water and
sewer charges with respect to the water and sewer charges due and
owing by such corporation on the effective date of this act and cancel
charges, fines, penalties and interest remaining unpaid.

Section two of this legislation would require this act to take effect
immediately.

 JUSTIFICATION :

Management at the building in question failed to pass the notice to
renew the synagogue's exemption status. As a result, their exemption
status from the payment of water and sewer charges in connection with
the property lapsed. Once realizing their status had changed they
immediately re-applied for the exemption status but such renewal is
only effective from the date of the application and is not
retroactive.

The intention of this bill is to undo the hardships that will be
suffered if the organization is required to pay the charges, interest
and penalties due.

 PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :

This is new legislation.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
