 AN ACT in relation to authorizing Christian Congregation of Long  Island
   to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status
 
   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 Babylon, county of Suffolk is hereby author-
 ized to accept from Christian Congregation of Long  Island,  a  not-for-
 profit  organization,  an  application  for exemption from real property
 taxes pursuant to section 420-a  of  the  real  property  tax  law  with
 respect  to  the  2023-2024  assessment rolls for the parcel conveyed to
 such organization, with such parcel being located  at  890  County  Line
 Road,  in  the hamlet of Amityville, town of Babylon, county of Suffolk,
 otherwise known as Suffolk county tax map district 0100, section 163.00,
 block 01.00, lot 001.000.
   If accepted, such application shall be reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
 received  on  or  before  the  taxable  status date established for such
 rolls.  If satisfied that such nonprofit 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 town of Babylon town board, may grant exemption from all
 taxation and make appropriate corrections 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
 the  taxes  paid, along with any fines or penalties paid, and cancel any
 taxes, fines, penalties, interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
