 AN ACT to authorize Chabad of Stony Brook, Inc. to file  an  application
   for exemption from real property taxes for a certain parcel of land in
   the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk
 
   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 Brookhaven, in the  county  of  Suffolk,  is
 hereby authorized to accept from Chabad at Stony Brook, Inc., a not-for-
 profit  organization,  an  application  for exemption from real property
 taxes pursuant to section 462 of the real property tax law for a portion
 of the 2017-2018 assessment roll,  for  the  parcel  purchased  by  such
 organization on September 18, 2017 and located in the town of Brookhaven
 at  3  Galloway  Court, East Setauket, otherwise known as district 0200,
 section 363.00, block 03.00, lot 001.005. 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 not-for-profit corporation would  otherwise  be
 entitled  to such exemption if the organization had filed an application
 for such exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the  assessor
 of  the  town of Brookhaven, upon approval by the town board of the town
 of Brookhaven, may grant exemption  from  taxation  with  respect  to  a
 portion  of  the  subject  roll  and  make appropriate correction to the
 subject roll. If the exemption is granted and such not-for-profit corpo-
 ration shall have paid any tax with regard to the subject roll, the town
 board of the town of Brookhaven 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.
