  AN ACT to authorize the St. James Mar Thoma Church of Rockland,  Inc  to
    file  an  application  for  exemption  from  real property taxes for a
    certain parcel of land located in the town of Ramapo

    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 town of Ramapo is hereby authorized to accept from
  the St. James Mar Thoma Church of  Rockland,  Inc.  an  application  for
  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
  property tax law for the 2009 assessment roll, for the parcel located in
  the town of Ramapo at 41 Fourth Street otherwise known as section 47.18,
  block  3, lot 1. 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 church: (i) acquired title to the property for
  which it seeks exemption subsequent to the taxable  status  date  estab-
  lished  for  such roll and prior to the taxable status date for the next
  ensuing assessment roll and (ii) would otherwise  be  entitled  to  such
  exemption  if  such church had filed an application for exemption by the
  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor of  the  town  of  Ramapo,
  upon  approval  by the town board of such town, may grant exemption from
  all taxation beginning with the date of acquisition of the  property  by
  such  church  and  make  appropriate  correction to the subject roll. If
  exemption is granted and such church therefore shall have paid  any  tax
  with  respect  to the subject roll, the governing body or tax department
  may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes  paid

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