        AN ACT in relation to authorizing the assessor of the town of Brookhaven
          to accept an application for exemption from real property  taxes  from
          Al-Muneer Foundation, Inc.

          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 Brookhaven, county  of  Suffolk,  is  hereby
     3  authorized  to  accept  from Al-Muneer Foundation, Inc. a not-for-profit
     4  corporation, an application  for  exemption  from  real  property  taxes
     5  pursuant  to  section 420-a of the real property tax law with respect to
     6  the 2020-2021 assessment rolls for the parcel owned by such organization
     7  located in the town of Brookhaven, located at 72  Neighborhood  Road  in
     8  Mastic  Beach, also known as district 0200, section 979.10, block 09.00,
     9  lot 017.000. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
    10  been received on or before the taxable status date established for  such
    11  assessment rolls.
    12    If satisfied that such corporation would otherwise be entitled to such
    13  exemption  if such corporation had filed an application for exemption by
    14  the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval of  the
    15  town of Brookhaven town board, may grant exemption from taxation on such
    16  assessment  rolls  and  make  the appropriate corrections of the subject
    17  rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation, therefore,  shall
    18  have  paid  any  tax  with  respect to the subject rolls, the applicable
    19  governing body or tax  departments,  in  their  sole  discretion,  shall
    20  provide for the refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines or penal-
    21  ties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
    22    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
