BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the asses-
sor of the city of Mount Vernon is hereby authorized to accept from
Westchester Muslim Center, Inc. an application for exemption from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
for the 1994 city assessment roll, for the parcel located at 22 Brook-
field Road in the city of Mount Vernon. If accepted, the application
shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable
status date established for such rolls. If satisfied that Westchester
Muslim Center, Inc. would otherwise be entitled to such exemption if but
for a clerical error, the assessor, upon approval by the city council of
the city of Mount Vernon may grant exemption from taxation on such
assessment roll and make the appropriate correction of the subject roll.
If the exemption is granted and such entity, therefore, shall have paid
any tax with respect to the subject roll, the applicable governing body
or tax departments, in their sole discretion, shall provide for the
refund of the taxes paid and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
