 Introduced  by  COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Wieder) --
   read once and referred to the Committee on Real Property Taxation
 AN ACT authorizing the Cong Kehal Square of Roman to receive retroactive
   real property tax exempt status
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
   Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 the  assessor  of  the county of Rockland is hereby authorized to accept
 from Cong Kehal Square of Roman, an application for  exemption from real
 property taxes pursuant to section 430 of the real property tax law with
 respect to the 2024 assessment roll, and all of 2023-2024  school  taxes
 for  the  parcel conveyed to  such organization,  with such parcel being
 located at 12 Roman Blvd., in the hamlet  of  Monsey,  town  of  Ramapo,
 otherwise  known  as  Rockland county tax map section 89, block 56.08-5,
 lot 47.  If accepted,  the  application shall be reviewed as if  it  had
 been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
 rolls.
   If  satisfied  that  such organization would  otherwise be entitled to
 such  exemption if such organization had acquired the  subject  property
 and filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
 date,  the  assessor,  upon approval by the Rockland county legislature,
 may  grant  exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections
 to the subject rolls.  If such exemption is granted and  such  organiza-
 tion  therefore  shall  have  paid  any  tax with respect to the subject
 rolls, the governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
 provide  for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines,
 penalties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
