 AN ACT to amend the real property tax  law,  in  relation  to  providing
   mandate relief to local school districts

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1.  Paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 726 of the  real
 property  tax  law,  as  amended  by chapter 546 of the laws of 2014, is
 amended to read as follows:
   (c) Any final order in a proceeding under THIS article [seven of  this
 chapter],  which  orders  or  directs  the  correction or striking of an
 assessment appearing on that portion of a city, town or  county  assess-
 ment  roll  applicable  to  a  school district, shall be binding on such
 school district. Any amount of taxes of such school district at any time
 collected upon such assessment in excess of the amount which would  have
 been  paid  had  such  assessment been made as determined by such order,
 shall be refunded by the school authorities  of  such  school  district,
 together  with  interest thereon computed as provided in subdivision two
 of this section. A school district which levies taxes  on  behalf  of  a
 school  district  public  library may charge back to such public library
 the portion of such refund attributable to library purposes. Such refund
 shall be made in  accordance  with  the  procedure  set  forth  in  this
 section,  provided,  however,  that application for such refund shall be
 made, by the petitioner or other person paying such  tax,  within  three
 years after the entry of the final order ordering or adjudging or deter-
 mining  such  assessment to have been excessive, unequal or unlawful, or
 that real property was misclassified. The time of the  pendency  of  any
 appeal in any such proceeding or from any such order shall not be deemed
 part  of such three years. SUCH REFUND SHALL BE PAID IN INSTALLMENTS FOR
 A PERIOD OF NO LESS THAN THREE YEARS.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
