AN ACT to authorize First Unitarian Society  to  file  applications  for
  real property tax exemptions

  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 city of Schenectady is hereby authorized  to  accept
from  First  Unitarian  Society,  applications  for exemptions from real
property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property  tax  law
for  the  2008  and 2009 assessment rolls for the parcels owned by First
Unitarian Society located in the city of  Schenectady  at  1227  Wendell
Avenue,  Schenectady,  otherwise known as section 39.67, block 1, lot 3;
1248 Wendell Street, otherwise known as  section  39.68,  block  1,  lot
34.1.  If  accepted,  the  applications shall be reviewed as if they had
been received on or before the taxable status date established for  such
rolls.  If  satisfied  that  First  Unitarian Society would otherwise be
entitled to such exemptions if it had filed  the  applications  for  the
exemptions  by the appropriate taxable status dates, the assessor of the
city of Schenectady may upon approval by the city council of such  city,
grant  exemptions  from  taxation  based on the 2008 and 2009 assessment
rolls and owing by such not-for-profit  organization  on  the  effective
date  of this act, and make appropriate correction of the subject rolls.
If such exemptions are granted and if such  not-for-profit  organization
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 taxes, fines, penalties or  inter-
est remaining unpaid.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
