        Introduced by M. of A. McDONALD -- read once and referred to the Commit-
          tee on Real Property Taxation

        AN  ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the City of Albany to
          accept from  the  Koinonia  Primary  Care,  Inc.  an  application  for
          exemption from real property taxes

          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 Albany is hereby authorized to  accept  from
     3  the  Koinonia  Primary Care, Inc. an application for exemption from real
     4  property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
     5  for  the  2019  assessment  roll, for the parcels located in the City of
     6  Albany at 553 Clinton Avenue and 157 North Lake Avenue, otherwise  known
     7  as Albany county tax map section 65.55, block 5, lot 60 and 65.55, block
     8  1,  lot  23. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
     9  been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
    10  rolls. If satisfied that such organization would otherwise  be  entitled
    11  to such exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property
    12  and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
    13  date,  the assessor, upon approval by the City of Albany Common Council,
    14  may grant exemption from all taxation and make  appropriate  corrections
    15  to  the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization
    16  therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll,  the
    17  governing  body  or  tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide
    18  for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes,  fines,  penal-
    19  ties, interest, or tax liens remaining unpaid.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
