         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 city of Schenectady is hereby authorized  to  accept
    3  from Calvary Baptist Church an application for exemption from real prop-
    4  erty  taxes  pursuant  to section 420-a of the real property tax law for
    5  the 2009, 2010 and 2011 assessment rolls for the parcel  owned  by  such
    6  not-for-profit organization which is located in the city of Schenectady,
    7  county  of Schenectady at 20 Colonial Avenue, otherwise known as section
    8  60.64, block 1, lots 4.2 and 5.  If accepted, such application shall  be
    9  reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date
   10  established for such roll.
   11    If  satisfied  that Calvary Baptist Church would otherwise be entitled
   12  to such exemption if it had filed an application for  exemption  by  the
   13  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor of the city of Schenectady
   14  may upon approval by the city council of such city, grant exemption from
   15  taxation  based on the 2009, 2010 and 2011 assessment rolls and owing by
   16  such not-for-profit organization on the effective date of this act,  and
   17  make  appropriate  correction  of the subject roll. If such exemption is
   18  granted and if such not-for-profit organization shall have paid any  tax
   19  with  respect to the subject rolls, the governing body or tax department
   20  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes  paid
   21  and cancel taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
   22    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
