 AN ACT in relation to authorizing the Power  House  Church  to  file  an
   application  for  a  retroactive  real property tax exemption with the
   county of Nassau assessor
 
   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 Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
 the  Power  House Church an application for exemption from real property
 taxes pursuant to section 430 of the  real  property  tax    law    with
 respect  to  the  2023  assessment roll and 2024 assessment roll for all
 applicable taxes for the parcels owned  by  such  not-for-profit  corpo-
 ration  located at 734 Woodfield Road, hamlet of West Hempstead, town of
 Hempstead, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau county tax    map
 district  section  35  block 443 lot 427, Nassau county tax map district
 section 35 block 443 lot 436, and Nassau county tax map district section
 35 block 443 lot 437. If accepted, the application shall  be    reviewed
 as  if  it had been received on or before the taxable status date estab-
 lished for such assessment rolls.
   If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be    entitled  to
 such  exemption  if  such  organization  had  filed  an  application for
 exemption by the appropriate taxable status  date, the   assessor,  upon
 approval   by  the  Nassau  county  legislature,  may  make  appropriate
 correction to the subject rolls. If such exemption is granted  and  such
 organization,  therefore,  shall  have  paid any tax with respect to the
 subject rolls, the applicable governing body or tax department  may,  in
 its    sole   discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
 cancel those  taxes,  fines,  penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
 unpaid.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
