        Introduced  by  Sen.  BROOKS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
          printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
        AN ACT to authorize the assessors  of  the  county  of  Nassau  and  the
          village  of  Freeport  to  accept applications for exemption from real
          property taxes from the Truth Haitian Pentecostal Church, Inc.  for  a
          certain parcel in the town of Hempstead, Village of Freeport
          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 assessors of the county of Nassau and the village  of  Freeport  are
     3  hereby  authorized  to accept from the Truth Haitian Pentecostal Church,
     4  Inc. an application for exemption from real property taxes  pursuant  to
     5  section  420-a of the real property tax law for the 2014-2015 assessment
     6  roll, the school taxes for the 2015-2016 school  year  and  the  village
     7  taxes for the 2015 assessment roll for the parcel located in the Village
     8  of Freeport at 354 N. Main Street, otherwise known as: section 55, block
     9  363, lot 662.
    10    If  accepted,  such  application  shall  be reviewed as if it had been
    11  received on or before the taxable  status  dates  established  for  such
    12  rolls.  If  satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled
    13  to such exemption if such organization  had  filed  an  application  for
    14  exemption  by  the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor of the
    15  county of Nassau, upon approval of the Nassau  county  legislature,  and
    16  the  assessor  of the village of Freeport upon the approval of the board
    17  of trustees of the village of Freeport  may  grant  exemption  from  all
    18  taxation  and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If such
    19  exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have paid any
    20  tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax depart-
    21  ment may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those  taxes
    22  paid  and  cancel  any  taxes,  fines,  penalties, interest or tax liens
    23  remaining unpaid.
    24    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
