    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
    2  the assessors of the village of Goshen and the town of  Goshen,  in  the
    3  county  of  Orange,  are  hereby  authorized to accept from Occupations,
    4  Inc., applications for exemption from real property  taxes  pursuant  to
    5  section  420-b of the real property tax law for the 2008 assessment roll
    6  for the parcel to which such corporation took title on April  17,  2008,
    7  located  in  the village of Goshen at 2001 Route 17M, otherwise known as
    8  section 116, block 2, lot 1.1.
    9    If accepted, the applications shall be reviewed as if  they  had  been
   10  received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
   11  If satisfied that Occupations, Inc.  would otherwise be entitled to such
   12  exemption  if it had filed applications for exemption by the appropriate
   13  taxable status date, the assessor of the  village  of  Goshen  may  upon
   14  approval  by  the  board of trustees of such village and the assessor of
   15  the town of Goshen may upon approval of the town  board  of  such  town,
   16  grant  exemption  from  taxation  based  on the 2008 assessment roll and
   17  owing by such corporation on the effective date of this  act,  and  make
   18  appropriate correction of the subject roll. If such exemption is granted
   19  and  if  such  corporation  shall  have paid any tax with respect to the
   20  subject roll, the governing body or tax  department  may,  in  its  sole
   21  discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel taxes,
   22  fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
   23    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
