Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the town of Babylon is hereby authorized to accept from
The Church of God by Faith an application for exemption from real prop-
erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for

tion, with such parcels being located in the town of Babylon at 124 Long

exemption from all taxation beginning on the date of the conveyance of
such parcel to such organization on the effective date of this act and

make appropriate correction of the subject roll.
