SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the assessor of the town of Islip, county of Suffolk is hereby author-
ized to accept from Chabad of Islip Township Inc, an application for
exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
property tax law with respect to the 2022--2023 assessment rolls for all
of the 2023 general taxes, and a portion of the 2022--2023 school taxes
for the parcel conveyed to such organization, with such parcel being
located at 283 Ocean Avenue, in the town of Islip, otherwise known. as
Suffolk county tax map district 0500, section 422.00, block 01.00, lot
019.000. If accepted, the application shall be reviewed as if it had
been received on or before the taxable status dates established for such
rolls.
If satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to such
exemption if such organization had acquired the subject property and
filed an application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status
date, the assessor, upon approval by the town of Islip town board, may
grant exemption from all taxation and make appropriate corrections 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
governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide
for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel any taxes, fines, penal-
ties, interest or tax liens remaining unpaid.
Section 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
JUSTIFICATION:

otherwise be entitled to such exemption if such corporation had filed an
application for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the
assessor, upon approval of the Town of Islip town board, may grant
exemption from taxation on such assessment rolls and make the appropri-
ate corrections of the subject rolls.
