       AN ACT to authorize the town  of  Ramapo  to  file  an  application  for

         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 Ramapo, is hereby authorized to accept from
    3  the town of Ramapo, an application  for  exemption  from  real  property
    4  taxes  pursuant  to  section  406  of  the real property tax law for the
    5  2007-2008 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such town,  which  is
    6  located  in  the town of Ramapo at 120 Torne Valley, otherwise known as:
    7  section 47.7, block 1, lot 3. If accepted,  such  application  shall  be
    8  reviewed as if it had been received on or before the applicable deadline
    9  for filing such applications established for such roll.
   10    If satisfied that such corporation: (i) acquired title to the property
   11  for  which  it  seeks  exemption and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to
   12  such exemption if such town had filed an application  for  exemption  by
   13  the applicable deadline for filing such applications, the assessor, upon
   14  approval  by  the  town board of the town of Ramapo, may grant exemption
   15  from all taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the property
   16  by such town and make appropriate correction to  the  subject  roll.  If
   17  exemption  is  granted  and  such town therefore shall have paid any tax
   18  with respect to the subject roll, the governing body or  tax  department
   19  may,  in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid
   20  and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
   21    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
