AN ACT to amend the real property tax law,  in  relation  to  exemptions
  available to veterans

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (c)  of  subdivision  2  of
section 458-b of the real property tax law, as amended by chapter 381 of
the laws of 2015, is amended to read as follows:
  (iii)  The  exemption  provided  by  paragraph (a) of this subdivision
shall be granted for a period of ten years. The commencement of such ten
year period shall be governed pursuant to  this  subparagraph.  Where  a
qualified  owner owns qualifying residential real property on the effec-
tive date of the local law providing for such exemption, such  ten  year
period  shall  be measured from the assessment roll prepared pursuant to
the first taxable status date occurring on or after the  effective  date
of  the  local law providing for such exemption. Where a qualified owner
does not own qualifying residential real property on the effective  date
of  the  local  law  providing  for such exemption, such ten year period
shall be measured from the assessment  roll  prepared  pursuant  to  the
first  taxable  status date occurring at least sixty days after the date
of purchase of qualifying residential real property; provided,  however,
that  should  the  veteran  apply for and be granted an exemption on the
assessment roll prepared pursuant to a  taxable  status  date  occurring
within sixty days after the date of purchase of residential real proper-
ty,  such  ten  year  period shall be measured from the first assessment
roll in which the exemption occurs. If, before the  expiration  of  such
ten  year  period,  such exempt property is sold and replaced with other
residential real property, such exemption may  be  granted  pursuant  to
this  subdivision  for  the  unexpired portion of the ten year exemption
period. Each county, city, town or village may  adopt  a  local  law  to
reduce the maximum exemption allowable in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
subdivision  to  six  thousand dollars, nine thousand dollars and thirty
thousand dollars, respectively, or four thousand dollars,  six  thousand
