       Introduced by M. of A. McDONALD -- read once and referred to the Commit-
         tee on Cities
       AN  ACT  authorizing the assessor of the city of Troy to accept from the
         Sixth Avenue Baptist Church an application  for  exemption  from  real
         property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
         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 city of Troy is hereby authorized to accept from the
    3  Sixth Avenue Baptist Church an application for exemption from real prop-
    4  erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property  tax  law  for
    5  the  2012,  2013 and 2014 assessment rolls for the parcel located in the
    6  city of Troy at 36 109th Street,  otherwise  known  as:  section  80.79,
    7  block 7, lot 3.
    8    If  accepted,  such  application  shall  be reviewed as if it had been
    9  received on or before the taxable  status  dates  established  for  such
   10  rolls. If satisfied that such church would otherwise be entitled to such
   11  exemption  if  such church had filed an application for exemption by the
   12  appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor,  upon  approval  of  the
   13  common  council  of the city of Troy, may grant exemption from all taxa-
   14  tion and make appropriate corrections to  the  subject  rolls.  If  such
   15  exemption  is  granted and such church therefore shall have paid any tax
   16  with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax  department
   17  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid
   18  and cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax liens  remaining
   19  unpaid.
   20    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
