 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1. Subdivision 4 of section 467 of the real property tax law,
 as amended by chapter 406 of the laws of 1995, is  amended  to  read  as
 follows:
   4.  Every municipal corporation in which such real property is located
 shall notify, or cause to be notified, each  person  owning  residential
 real  property  in  such municipal corporation of the provisions of this
 section.  The provisions of this subdivision may be met by a  notice  or
 legend sent on or with each tax bill to such persons reading "You may be
 eligible  for  senior citizen tax exemptions. Senior citizens have until
 month.........., day.......,  year......, to apply for such  exemptions.
 For  information  please call or write....," followed by the name, tele-

 municipal  corporation  to  explain the provisions of this section. Each
 cooperative apartment corporation shall notify  each  tenant-stockholder
 thereof in residence of such provisions as set forth herein.  Failure to
 notify,  or  cause to be notified any person who is in fact, eligible to
 receive the exemption provided by this section or the  failure  of  such
 person  to  receive  the same shall not prevent the levy, collection and
 enforcement of the payment of  the  taxes  on  property  owned  by  such
 person.  A  SECOND COPY OF THE NOTICE REQUIRED BY THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL
 BE SENT THIRTY DAYS PRIOR TO THE FILING DEADLINE.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
