        AN  ACT  authorizing the county of Nassau assessor to accept an applica-
          tion for a real property tax exemption from  the  Lighthouse  Interna-
          tional Christian Gathering

          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 Lighthouse International  Christian  Gathering  an  application  for
     4  exemption  from  real property taxes pursuant to section 430 of the real
     5  property tax law for the assessment roll for the 2022-2023, portions  of
     6  the  2023-2024  and  the 2024-2025 school taxes and portions of the 2024
     7  and 2025 general taxes for the  parcel  conveyed  to  such  organization
     8  located  at  800 West Merrick Road, town of Hempstead, county of Nassau,
     9  otherwise known as Nassau county parcel ID section 37, block  407,  lots
    10  222,  223, 224, 225, 236. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed
    11  as if it had been received on or before the taxable status  date  estab-
    12  lished for such roll.
    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  by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make   appropriate
    17  correction  to  the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted and such
    18  organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax  with  respect  to  the
    19  subject  rolls,  the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
    20  its sole discretion, provide for the refund  of  those  taxes  paid  and
    21  cancel  those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest remaining
    22  unpaid.
    23    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
