   tee on Real Property Taxation
 
 AN  ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the City of Albany to
   accept from  the  Koinonia  Primary  Care,  Inc.  an  application  for
   exemption from real property taxes
 
   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  Koinonia  Primary Care, Inc. an application for exemption from real
 property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
 for  the  2019  assessment  roll, for the parcels located in the City of
 Albany at 553 Clinton Avenue and 157 North Lake Avenue, otherwise  known
 as Albany county tax map section 65.55, block 5, lot 60 and 65.55, block
 1,  lot  23. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
 been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
 rolls. If satisfied that such organization would otherwise  be  entitled
 to such exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property
 and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate 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 granted 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,  penal-
 ties, interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
