-- read once and referred to the Committee on Real Property Taxation
AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Brookhaven
to accept an application for exemption from real property taxes from
Al-Muneer Foundation, 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 law to the contrary,
the assessor of the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, is hereby
authorized to accept from Al-Muneer Foundation, Inc. a not-for-profit
corporation, an application for exemption from real property taxes
pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to
the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 assessment rolls for the parcel owned by
such organization located in the town of Brookhaven, located at 72
Neighborhood Road in Mastic Beach, also known as district 0200, section
979.10, block 09.00, lot 017.000. If accepted, the application shall be
reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
established for such assessment rolls.
If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such corporation had filed an application for exemption by
the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval of the
town of Brookhaven town board, may grant exemption from taxation on such
assessment rolls and make the appropriate corrections of the subject
rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation, therefore, shall
have paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable
governing body or tax departments, in their sole discretion, shall
provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines or penal-
ties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
