         ties to retroactively apply for a  real  property  tax  exemption  for
         certain property in the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk
         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 town of Brookhaven is hereby  authorized  to  accept
    3  from  the  Society for Preservation of Long Island Antiquities a renewal
    4  application for exemption from real property taxes pursuant  to  section
    5  420-b  of  the real property tax law for the 2014-2015 tax roll, for the
    6  parcel owned by such society located at North Country Road, East Setauk-
    7  et,    otherwise    known    as    Suffolk     county     tax     number
    8  0200-112.00-02.00-020.000, in the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk.
    9  If accepted, the renewal application shall be reviewed as if it had been
   10  received on or before the taxable status date for such roll.
   11    If  satisfied  that  such  society would otherwise be entitled to such
   12  exemption if such society had filed a renewal application for  exemption
   13  by  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by
   14  the  town  board  of  the  town  of  Brookhaven,  may  make  appropriate
   15  correction  to  the  subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such
   16  society, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the  subject
   17  roll,  the  applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole
   18  discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel  those
   19  taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
   20    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
