  AN ACT to authorize the assessor of the county of Nassau  to  accept  an
    application  for exemption from real property tax from the Farmingdale
    public library for a certain parcel of land located  in  the  town  of
    Oyster Bay

    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 Farmingdale public library an application for  exemption  from  real
  property  taxes  pursuant  to section 420-a of the real property tax law
  for a portion of the 2011-2012 assessment roll, for the  parcel  located
  in  the  town of Oyster Bay at 120 Merritts Road, Farmingdale, otherwise
  known as: section 49, block H, lot 558.
    If accepted, the application shall be  reviewed  as  if  it  had  been
  received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
    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 of the Nassau county legislature, may grant exemption from  all
  taxation  and  make appropriate corrections to the subject roll. If such
  exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have paid any
  tax with respect to the subject roll, the governing body or tax  depart-
  ment  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.
    S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
