          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-

     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
     2  the  assessor  of  the  town  of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk is hereby
     3  authorized to accept from Word of Truth Church, Inc. an application  for
     4  exemption  from  real property taxes pursuant to section 462 of the real
     5  property tax law with respect to the 2021-2022 assessment roll  for  all
     6  of the 2021-2022 school taxes and all of the 2021 and 2022 general taxes
     7  for the parcel owned by such organization located at 208 Jamaica Avenue,
     8  town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, otherwise known as Suffolk county
     9  tax  map  district  0200,  section  771.00, block 09.00, lot 011.002. If
    10  accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had  been  received
    11  on  or  before  the  taxable status date established for such assessment
    12  roll.
    13    If satisfied that such organization would  otherwise  be  entitled  to
    14  such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
    15  exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date,  the  assessor,  upon
    16  approval  by  the Brookhaven town board, may make appropriate correction
    17  to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such organization,
    18  therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject roll, the
    19  applicable governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
    20  provide for the refund of those  taxes  paid  and  cancel  those  taxes,
    21  fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
