AN ACT authorizing New York Kali Mandir, Inc. to receive retroactive real property tax exempt status
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from New York Kali Mandir, Inc. an application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law for a portion of the 2017 general tax year and a portion of the 2016-2017 school tax year, and for all the 2018 general tax year and all of the 2017-2018 school tax year assessment rolls, for the parcel conveyed to such organization, with such parcel being located at 614 Seaman Avenue, in the hamlet of Baldwin, town of Hempstead, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county parcel ID section 54 block 018 lot 0061. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
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 Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate 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.
