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 the Center for Jewish Life of Hewlett Inc. an application for exemption 4 from real property taxes pursuant to section 430 of the real property 5 tax law with respect to 2021--2022 assessment roll for a portion of the 6 2021--2022 school taxes and a portion of the 2022 general taxes for the 7 parcel conveyed to such organization located at 24 Everit Avenue, town 8 of Hempstead, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county parcel 9 ID section 39 block 78 lot 605. If accepted, the application shall be 10 reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxable status date 11 established for such roll. 12 If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to 13 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for 14 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon 15 approval by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate 16 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such 17 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the 18 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in 19 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and 20 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining 21 unpaid. 22 § 2.
