         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  YWAM Cornerstone an application for exemption from real  property  taxes
    4  pursuant  to section 420-a of the real property tax law for a portion of
    5  the 2012-2013 assessment roll and a portion of the 2013-2014  assessment
    6  roll  for  the  parcel located in the town of Hempstead at 377 Jerusalem
    7  Avenue, Hempstead, otherwise known as:  section 34, block 462, lots 188,
    8  189, 190, 358 and 359.
    9    If accepted, such application shall be reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
   10  received  on  or  before  the  taxable status dates established for such
   11  rolls. If satisfied that such organization would otherwise  be  entitled
   12  to  such  exemption  if  such  organization had filed an application for
   13  exemption by the appropriate taxable status dates,  the  assessor,  upon
   14  approval  of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all
   15  taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If  such
   16  exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have paid any
   17  tax with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax depart-
   18  ment  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes
   19  paid and cancel any taxes,  fines,  penalties,  interest  or  tax  liens
   20  remaining unpaid.
   21    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
