         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 Greenburgh, county of Westchester, is hereby
    3  authorized  to  accept  from  the Mt. Vernon Neighborhood Health Center,
    4  Inc. D/B/A Greenburgh Health Center, an application for  exemption  from
    5  real  property  taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax
    6  law for the 2013-2014 tax roll, for the parcel owned  by  such  not-for-
    7  profit  health  center which is located at 295 Knollwood Road, otherwise
    8  known as Greenburgh tax map section, block and lot  number  7.480-295-7.
    9  If  accepted,  the  application  shall  be  reviewed  as  if it had been
   10  received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
   11    If satisfied that the Mt.  Vernon  Neighborhood  Health  Center,  Inc.
   12  D/B/A  Greenburgh  Health  Center  would  otherwise  be entitled to such
   13  exemption if such not-for-profit organization had acquired  the  subject
   14  property and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxa-
   15  ble  status date, the assessor, upon approval by the Town of Greenburgh,
   16  may make appropriate correction to the subject roll. If  such  exemption
   17  is  granted  and  such  organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax
   18  with respect to the subject roll, the applicable governing body  or  tax
   19  department  may,  in  its sole discretion, provide for a refund of those
   20  taxes paid and cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens  or  interest
   21  that remain unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
