        Introduced  by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Solages) --
          read once and referred to the Committee on Real Property Taxation

        AN ACT authorizing Innovative  Resources  for  Independence,  Inc.    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  Innovative  Resources  for  Independence,  Inc.    an  application   for
     4  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
     5  property  tax law with respect to the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 assessment
     6  rolls for all of the 2022-2023 school taxes, a portion of the  2023-2024
     7  school  taxes,  all  of the 2023 general taxes and a portion of the 2024
     8  general taxes for the parcel conveyed to such  organization  located  at
     9  2016  Linden  Boulevard,  hamlet of Elmont, town of Hempstead, county of
    10  Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county parcel ID section 37 block  Q07
    11  lot 15. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had been
    12  received on or before the taxable status date established for such 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  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make   appropriate
    17  correction  to  the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
    18  organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax  with  respect  to  the
    19  subject  rolls,  the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
    20  its sole discretion, provide for the refund  of  those  taxes  paid  and
    21  cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest remaining
    22  unpaid.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
