   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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
 the Freeport Bible Center an application for exemption from real proper-
 ty taxes pursuant to section 430 of  the  real  property  tax  law  with
 respect  to  the  2026 assessment roll, for all applicable taxes for the
 parcels owned by such not-for-profit corporation  located  at  50  North
 Main  Street,  town  of  Freeport,  county of Nassau, otherwise known as
 Nassau county tax map district section 55 block 236-1  lot  202,  Nassau
 county  tax  map  district  section  55 block 236-01 lot 203, and Nassau
 county tax map district section 55 block 236-1 lot 66. 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 organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
 such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
 exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
 approval   by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make  appropriate
 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted  and  such
 organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the
 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
 its  sole  discretion,  provide  for  the refund of those taxes paid and
 cancel those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
 unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
