   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 467 of the real property tax  law,
 as  amended  by  chapter  406 of the laws of 1995, is amended to read as
 follows:
   4. Every municipal corporation in which such real property is  located
 shall  notify,  or  cause to be notified, each person owning residential
 real property in such municipal corporation of the  provisions  of  this
 section.    The provisions of this subdivision may be met by a notice or
 legend sent on or with each tax bill to such persons reading "You may be
 eligible for senior citizen tax exemptions. Senior citizens  have  until
 month..........,  day.......,  year......, to apply for such exemptions.
 For information please call or write....," followed by the  name,  tele-
 phone  number  and/or  address of a person or department selected by the
 municipal corporation to explain the provisions of  this  section.  Each
 cooperative  apartment  corporation shall notify each tenant-stockholder
 thereof in residence of such provisions as set forth herein.  Failure to
 notify, or cause to be notified any person who is in fact,  eligible  to
 receive  the  exemption  provided by this section or the failure of such
 person to receive the same shall not prevent the  levy,  collection  and
 enforcement  of  the  payment  of  the  taxes  on property owned by such
 person. A SECOND COPY OF THE NOTICE REQUIRED BY THIS  SUBDIVISION  SHALL
 BE SENT THIRTY DAYS PRIOR TO THE FILING DEADLINE.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
