Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, 2 the assessor of the county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from 3 Divya Jyoti Jagrati Kendra, a not-for-profit organization, an applica- 4 tion for exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of 5 the real property tax law, with respect to part of the 2018-2019 school 6 tax year, the 2019-2020 school tax year, the 2020-2021 school tax year 7 and the 2019 general tax year, the 2020 general tax year and the 2021 8 general tax year, for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit organiza- 9 tion, with such parcel being located at 327 Jericho Turnpike, in the 10 village of Old Westbury, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Section 11 17, Block 16, Lot 8. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as 12 if it had been received on or before the taxable status date established 13 for such rolls. 14 If satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be 15 entitled to such exemption if such organization had filed an application 16 for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon 17 approval by the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from all 18 taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls.
