 STATE OF NEW YORK
 ________________________________________________________________________

 8941

 IN SENATE

 January 20, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. MARTINEZ -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Local Government

 AN ACT authorizing Farmingdale First Baptist Church, Inc. to receive
 retroactive real property tax exempt status

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
 2 the assessor of the town of Babylon, county of Suffolk, is hereby
 3 authorized to accept from Farmingdale First Baptist Church Inc., a not-
 4 for-profit organization, an application for exemption from real prop-
 5 erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property tax law
 6 with respect to the 2023, 2024, and 2025 assessment rolls, for the
 7 parcels owned by such organization which are located at 51 East Street,
 8 in the hamlet of Amityville, town of Babylon, county of Suffolk, other-
 9 wise known as Suffolk county tax map district 0100, section 099.00,
 10 block 01.00, lot 014.000.
 11 If accepted, such application shall be reviewed as if it had been
 12 received on or before the taxable status date established for such
 13 rolls. If satisfied that such non-profit organization would otherwise be
 14 entitled to such exemption if such organization had filed an application
 15 for exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
 16 approval by the town of Babylon town board, may grant exemption from
 17 all taxation and make appropriate corrections to the subject rolls. If
 18 such exemption is granted and such organization therefore shall have
 19 paid any tax with respect to the subject rolls, the applicable govern-
 20 ing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion, provide for the
 21 refund of the taxes paid, along with any fines or penalties paid, and
 22 cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest, or tax liens remaining
 23 unpaid.
 24 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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