 AN ACT to authorize the Freeport Bible Center to file an application for

   assessor
 
   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 village of Freeport is hereby authorized to accept
 from the Freeport Bible Center an application for  exemption  from  real
 property 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,  village 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, Nassau county
 tax map district section 55 block 236-1 lot 66, and  Nassau  county  tax
 map  district section 62 block 092-00 lot 00011. If accepted, the appli-
 cation 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 village of Freeport board of trustees, may  make  appro-
 priate 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.
