 AN ACT in relation to permitting the Church of Jesus Christ 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 City of Albany is hereby authorized to  accept  from
 the  Church of Jesus Christ an application for exemption from real prop-
 erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property  tax  law  for
 the  2018  assessment roll, for the parcel located in the City of Albany
 at 562 Clinton Avenue, otherwise known as Albany county tax map  section
 65.55,  block  2, lot 20. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed
 as if it had been received on or before the taxable status dates  estab-
 lished  for  such roll. If satisfied that such organization would other-
 wise be entitled to such exemption if such organization had acquired the
 subject property and filed an application for exemption by the appropri-
 ate taxable status date, the assessor, upon  approval  by  the  City  of
 Albany  Common  Council,  may grant exemption from all taxation and make
 appropriate corrections to the subject roll. If such exemption is grant-
 ed and such organization therefore shall have paid any tax with  respect
 to  the  subject  roll, the governing body or tax department may, in its
 sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid  and  cancel
 any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
