 AN ACT to provide a real property tax exemption for  Bokharian  Communi-
   ties Center Inc.
 
   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  this  act  or  any
 other  law  to  the contrary, real property designated on the tax map of
 the city of New York as Block 7248 Lot 44 in the borough of Queens,  may
 be  eligible  for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section
 420-a of the real property tax law for tax years 2013-2014, based upon a
 showing that the real property was  purchased  and  held  on  behalf  of
 Bokharian Communities Center Inc.  for these tax years, and the property
 has  been  used  exclusively by such organization for carrying out reli-
 gious purposes and is currently being used for such purposes. If  satis-
 fied  that  the real property meets the criteria above and such not-for-
 profit organization would otherwise be entitled to such  exemption,  the
 assessor shall grant an exemption for the above-referenced tax years and
 the city of New York may cancel and annul any unpaid real property taxes
 that  accrued  on  such property for the tax years when the property was
 held for the benefit of Bokharian Communities Center Inc., together with
 any interest accruing on such unpaid real property taxes.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
