         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
    2  the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
    3  Iglesia  Evangelica  De  El  Principe  De  Paz Inc.   an application for
    4  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
    5  property tax law for the 2009, 2010,  and  2011  assessment  rolls  with
    6  respect  to  a portion of the school taxes and all of the general taxes,
    7  for the parcel located at 204-A Main Street, town of  Hempstead,  other-
    8  wise  known as section 34, block 194, lots 004 and 008. If accepted, the
    9  application shall be reviewed as if it had been received  on  or  before
   10  the taxable status date established for such rolls.
   11    If  satisfied  that Iglesia Evangelica De El Principe De Paz Inc.  (i)
   12  acquired title to the property for which it seeks  exemption  subsequent
   13  to  the taxable status dates established for such rolls and prior to the
   14  taxable status date for the next ensuing assessment rolls and (ii) would
   15  otherwise be entitled to such exemption if it had filed  an  application
   16  for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
   17  approval  by  the  Nassau  county  legislature, may grant exemption from
   18  taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the property by Igle-
   19  sia Evangelica De  El  Principe  De  Paz  Inc.    and  make  appropriate
   20  correction  of  the  subject  rolls. If such exemption is granted and if
   21  Iglesia Evangelica De El Principe De Paz Inc. shall have  paid  any  tax
   22  with respect to such subject rolls, the governing body or tax department
   23  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid
   24  and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
   25    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
