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 Islip is hereby authorized to accept from
Mercy Haven, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, an application for
exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
property tax law (a) for the 2017-2018 assessment roll for the parcels
owned by such organization located in the town of Islip located at 56
Adams Road in Central Islip, also known as district 0500, section 78.00,
block 01.00, lot 039.000; 58 Adams Road in Central Islip, also known as
district 0500, section 78.00, block 01.00, lot 038.000; and 60 Adams
Road in Central Islip, also known as district 0500, section 79.00, block
01.00, lot 001.000; and (b) for the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 assessment

Islip located at 56 Adams Road in Central Islip, also known as district

If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
received on or before the taxable status date established for such

application for such exemption by the appropriate taxable status date,
the assessor of the town of Islip upon approval by the town of Islip
town board may grant exemption from taxation with respect to the subject
rolls and make appropriate correction to the subject rolls. If the
exemption is granted and such not-for-profit organization shall have
paid any tax with regard to the subject rolls, the town of Islip town
board 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.
