 AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Brookhaven
   to accept an application for a real property tax  exemption  from  St.
   Mary AME Zion Church

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, the asses-
 sor of the town of Brookhaven is hereby authorized to  accept  from  the
 St. Mary AME Zion Church an application for exemption from real property
 taxes  pursuant  to  section  420-a  of  the  real property tax law with
 respect to the 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 assessment  rolls  for
 the  parcel owned by such organization located in the town of Brookhaven
 at 537 Granny Road in the hamlet of  Medford,  also  known  as  district
 0200,  section 545.00, block 03.00, lot 021.001. 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 corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
 exemption  if such corporation had filed an application for exemption by
 the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval of  the
 town of Brookhaven town board, may grant exemption from taxation on such
 assessment  rolls  and  make  the appropriate corrections of the subject
 rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation, therefore,  shall
 have  paid  any tax with respect to  the  subject  rolls, the applicable
 governing  body or tax   departments, in their  sole  discretion,  shall
 provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines or penal-
 ties paid, and cancel taxes 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.
