       Introduced  by  Sen.  MARCELLINO  -- read twice and ordered printed, and
         when printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
       AN ACT to authorize Muslims on Long Island, Inc. to retroactively  apply
         for  real  property tax exemptions for certain properties in Bethpage,
         town of Oyster Bay, county of Nassau
         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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
    3  Muslims  on  Long  Island, Inc. applications or renewal applications for
    4  exemptions from real property taxes pursuant to  section  420-a  of  the
    5  real property tax law for part of the 2010-2011 assessment roll, and the
    6  2011-2012  assessment  roll, for the parcel owned by such not-for-profit
    7  corporation which is located at 300 Central  Avenue,  Bethpage,  in  the
    8  town  of  Oyster Bay, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county
    9  section 46, block 112, lot 9. If accepted, the applications  or  renewal
   10  applications shall be reviewed as if they had been received on or before
   11  the taxable status date established for such roll.
   12    If  satisfied that such not-for-profit organization would otherwise be
   13  entitled to such exemptions  if  such  not-for-profit  organization  had
   14  filed  applications or renewal applications for exemptions by the appro-
   15  priate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval  by  the  Oyster
   16  Bay  town board, may make appropriate correction to the subject roll. If
   17  such exemptions are granted and such organization, therefore, shall have
   18  paid any taxes with respect to the subject roll, the applicable  govern-
   19  ing  body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
   20  refund of those taxes paid and cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,
   21  liens, or interest remaining unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
