        AN ACT in relation to authorizing the Town of Hempstead to grant  South-

          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  Hempstead,  County  of  Nassau,  is  hereby
     3  authorized  to  accept  from  Southern Tier Environments for Living Inc.
     4  (d/b/a STEL), a not-for-profit corporation, an application for exemption
     5  from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property
     6  tax  law  with respect to the 2018-2019 assessment rolls, for the parcel
     7  owned by such not-for-profit corporation which is located at 301  Penin-
     8  sula  Blvd.,  Town  of  Hempstead,  County of Nassau, otherwise known as
     9  Nassau County tax  map  district  section  34,  block  358,  lot  9.  If
    10  accepted,  the  application shall be reviewed as if it had been received
    11  on or before the taxable status date  established  for  such  assessment
    12  rolls.
    13    If  satisfied  that  such  organization would otherwise be entitled to
    14  such exemption if such not-for-profit corporation had filed an  applica-
    15  tion for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor,
    16  upon  approval  of the Town of Hempstead board, may grant exemption from
    17  taxation on such assessment rolls and make the  appropriate  corrections
    18  of  the  subject  rolls. If exemptions are granted and such corporation,
    19  therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to  the  subject  rolls,
    20  the  applicable  governing  body  or  tax  departments,  in  their  sole
    21  discretion, shall provide for the refund of the taxes paid,  along  with
    22  any fines or penalties paid, and cancel taxes remaining unpaid.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
