        AN ACT authorizing the Seaford Fire District to receive retroactive real
          property tax exempt status

          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  the Seaford Fire District an application for exemption from real proper-
     4  ty  taxes  pursuant  to  section  464  of the real property tax law with
     5  respect to the 2021-2022 assessment rolls for a portion of the 2021-2022
     6  school taxes and a portion of the 2022  general  taxes  for  the  parcel
     7  conveyed to such organization located at 3844 Waverly Ave, town of Hemp-
     8  stead,  county  of  Nassau,  otherwise  known as Nassau county parcel ID
     9  section 57 block 156 lot 51.  If  accepted,  the  application  shall  be
    10  reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
    11  established for such roll.
    12    If  satisfied  that  such  organization would otherwise be entitled to
    13  such exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application  for
    14  exemption  by  the  appropriate  taxable status date, the assessor, upon
    15  approval  by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make   appropriate
    16  correction  to  the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
    17  organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax  with  respect  to  the
    18  subject  rolls,  the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
    19  its sole discretion, provide for the refund  of  those  taxes  paid  and
