       Introduced  by  Sen.  GRIFFO -- 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  town  of  Whitestown  and  the
         village  of  New York Mills to accept an application for real property
         tax exemption from New  York  Mills  Historical  Society  for  certain
         parcels of land in such village and town
         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 Whitestown and the assessor of  the  village
    3  of  New  York  Mills  are  hereby authorized to accept from the New York
    4  Mills Historical Society an application for exemption from real property
    5  taxes pursuant to section 420-b of the real property  tax  law  for  the
    6  2010  assessment  rolls,  for  the  parcel  owned by such not-for-profit
    7  organization located at 96 Main Street, village of New York Mills in the
    8  town of Whitestown, county of Oneida, otherwise known as  Oneida  county
    9  tax  map section 305.019, block 5, lot 11. If accepted, the applications
   10  shall be reviewed as if they had been received on or before the  taxable
   11  status date established for such rolls.
   12    If satisfied that such organization: (i) acquired title to the proper-
   13  ty  for  which  it  seeks  an exemption subsequent to the taxable status
   14  dates established for such rolls and prior to the  taxable  status  date
   15  for  the next ensuing assessment rolls and (ii) would otherwise be enti-
   16  tled to such exemption if such organization had filed  applications  for
   17  exemption  by  the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessors, upon
   18  approval by the town or village board, may make appropriate  corrections
   19  to  the subject rolls. If such exemptions are granted and such organiza-
   20  tion, therefore, shall have paid any tax with  respect  to  the  subject
   21  rolls,  the applicable governing bodies or tax departments may, in their
   22  sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid  and  cancel
   23  those taxes, fines, penalties, liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
   24    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
