    1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
    2  the assessor of the town of Islip, in the county of Suffolk,  is  hereby
    3  authorized  to  accept  from the Church of God, a corporation or associ-
    4  ation organized or conducted exclusively for  religious  or  educational
    5  purposes  or  for both such purposes, an application or renewal applica-
    6  tion for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of
    7  the real property tax law for the 2000 and 2001  assessment  rolls,  for
    8  the  parcel  owned  by  such  corporation located at 137 Suffolk Avenue,

   10  0500.11900.0100.069000.0000  in  such town. If accepted, the application
   11  or renewal application shall be reviewed as if it had been  received  on
   12  or  before  the  taxable  status  date established for the 2000 and 2001

   23  of such town, may grant exemption from all taxation with respect to  the
   24  subject  tax  roll due and owing by such corporation or on the effective
   25  date of this act,  and  cancel  taxes,  fines,  penalties  and  interest
