         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  Mesivta  Atres  Yaakov   an application for exemption from real property
    4  taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property  tax  law  for  the
    5  2009-2010  assessment roll with respect to a portion of the 2010 general
    6  taxes and the 2010-2011 assessment roll with respect  to  the  2010-2011
    7  school  taxes  and the 2011 general taxes for the parcels located in the
    8  town of Hempstead at  347  Mulry  Lane,  Lawrence,  otherwise  known  as
    9  section 41, block 97, lot 225.
   10    If  accepted,  the  application  shall  be  reviewed as if it had been
   11  received on or before the taxable  status  dates  established  for  such
   12  rolls.
   13    If  satisfied  that  such  organization would otherwise be entitled to
   14  such exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application  for
   15  exemption  by  the  appropriate  taxable status date, the assessor, upon
   16  approval of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from  all
   17  taxation  beginning  with  the  date of acquisition of the properties by
   18  such organization and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls.
   19  If such exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall  have
   20  paid  any  tax  with respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or
   21  tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for  the  refund  of
   22  those  taxes  paid  and  cancel taxes, fines, penalties, interest or tax
   23  liens remaining unpaid.
   24    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
