         printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government
       AN ACT in relation to authorizing the International Christian Fellowship
         to file an application for a real property tax exemption
         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 Ramapo is hereby authorized to accept from
    3  the International Christian Fellowship,  an  application  for  exemption
    4  from  real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property
    5  tax law for the 2011 assessment roll, for the parcel owned by such  not-
    6  for-profit  which  is  located  in  the town of Ramapo at 506 Haverstraw
    7  Road, otherwise known as: section 48.07, block 1, lot 52.  If  accepted,
    8  such  application  shall  be  reviewed  as if it had been received on or
    9  before the applicable deadline for filing such applications  established
   10  for such roll.
   11    If satisfied that such not-for-profit: (i) acquired title to the prop-
   12  erty  for  which it seeks exemption and (ii) would otherwise be entitled
   13  to such exemption if such not-for-profit had acquired such  property  by
   14  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the
   15  town board of the town of Ramapo, may grant exemption from all  taxation
   16  beginning  with the date of acquisition of the property by such not-for-
   17  profit and make appropriate correction to the subject roll. If exemption
   18  is granted and such not-for-profit therefore shall  have  paid  any  tax
   19  with  respect  to the subject roll, 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.
