   Section 1. Section 518 of the real property tax  law,  as  amended  by
 chapter 145 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows:
   §  518.  Change in tax billing address.  Where the assessor receives a
 report of a transfer occurring after the  taxable  status  date,  or  is
 otherwise  notified  of  a  change  in tax billing address, the assessor
 shall enter the new tax billing address on the data file, as  that  term
 is  defined in section fifteen hundred eighty-one of this chapter. Where
 no such data file exists, the assessor shall enter the new  tax  billing
 address on the assessment roll. If the assessor does not have custody of
 the assessment roll when such report is received, [he or she] THEY shall
 report  the  new tax billing address to the person having custody of the
 tax roll, which person shall enter the new tax billing  address  on  the
 tax  roll.  Nothing  contained  herein shall be construed to authorize a
 change of the name of the owner included in the data file  or  appearing
 on  the roll.   WHERE SUCH "TAX BILLING ADDRESS" IS A MORTGAGE INVESTING
 INSTITUTION OR AGENT THEREOF, THE ASSESSOR SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO MAKE
 AN ENTRY, PROVIDED THAT THE GOVERNING BODY OF  A  CITY,  VILLAGE,  TOWN,
 SCHOOL DISTRICT, FIRE DISTRICT OR COUNTY, AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING, ADOPTS
 A LOCAL LAW, ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION PROVIDING THEREFOR.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
