 AN ACT to amend the real property tax law, in relation  to  providing  a
   filing  extension for the "enhanced" STAR exemption to eligible appli-
   cants

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision 6 of section 425 of the real property tax law
 is amended by adding a new paragraph (a-3) to read as follows:
   (A-3) NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF LAW TO THE CONTRARY,  WHERE  AN
 INITIAL  APPLICATION  FOR  THE  "ENHANCED"  STAR EXEMPTION AUTHORIZED BY
 SUBDIVISION FOUR OF THIS SECTION HAS NOT BEEN FILED  ON  OR  BEFORE  THE
 TAXABLE  STATUS  DATE,  AND  THE  APPLICANT IS OTHERWISE ENTITLED TO THE
 EXEMPTION, SUCH APPLICANT SHALL BE GRANTED A ONE-TIME EXTENSION  OF  THE
 FILING  DEADLINE.  THE  APPLICANT  SHALL SUBMIT A WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE
 COMMISSIONER ASKING THEM TO EXTEND THE FILING  DEADLINE  AND  GRANT  THE
 EXEMPTION. THE COMMISSIONER SHALL GRANT THE EXEMPTION IF THE COMMISSION-
 ER  IS SATISFIED THAT (I) THE APPLICANT HAS NOT BEEN GRANTED SUCH EXTEN-
 SION BEFORE  AND  (II)  THE  APPLICANT  IS  OTHERWISE  ENTITLED  TO  THE
 EXEMPTION.  THE COMMISSIONER SHALL MAIL NOTICE OF THEIR DETERMINATION TO
 SUCH OWNER AND THE  ASSESSOR.  IF  THE  DETERMINATION  STATES  THAT  THE
 COMMISSIONER  HAS GRANTED THE EXEMPTION, THE ASSESSOR SHALL THEREUPON BE
 AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO CORRECT THE ASSESSMENT ROLL ACCORDINGLY,  OR,
 IF  ANOTHER  PERSON  HAS  CUSTODY  OR CONTROL OF THE ASSESSMENT ROLL, TO
 DIRECT  THAT  PERSON  TO  MAKE  THE  APPROPRIATE  CORRECTIONS.  IF   THE
 CORRECTION  IS  NOT  MADE BEFORE SCHOOL TAXES ARE LEVIED, THE FAILURE TO
 TAKE THE EXEMPTION INTO ACCOUNT IN THE COMPUTATION OF THE TAX  SHALL  BE
 DEEMED A "CLERICAL ERROR" FOR PURPOSES OF TITLE THREE OF ARTICLE FIVE OF
 THIS CHAPTER, AND SHALL BE CORRECTED ACCORDINGLY.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
