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 county of Nassau is hereby authorized to accept from
3 the John Theissen Children Foundation, Inc. an application for exemption
4 from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-b of the real property
5 tax law for the 2022-2023 assessment roll for a portion of the 2022-2023
6 school taxes and a portion of the 2023 general taxes for the parcel
7 conveyed to such organization located at 1492 Wantagh Avenue, hamlet of
8 Wantagh, town of Hempstead, county of Nassau, otherwise known as Nassau
9 county tax map section 56, block H, lot 2319. If accepted, the applica-
10 tion shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or before the taxa-
11 ble status dates established for such roll.

13 such exemption if such organization had filed an application for
14 exemption by the appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon
15 approval by the Nassau county legislature, may make appropriate
16 correction to the subject roll. If such exemption is granted and such
17 organization, therefore, shall have paid any tax with respect to the
18 subject roll, the applicable governing body or tax department may, in
19 its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
20 cancel those taxes, fines, penalties, liens or interest remaining
21 unpaid.
