This bill creates a real property tax exemption for the primary residences of surviving spouses of firefighters who died in the line of duty. It allows local governments and school districts to automatically exempt up to 50% of the assessed value of these homes from taxation, though they retain the option to reduce this percentage if they choose. The law defines eligible firefighters broadly to include paid members of various fire departments and extends the benefit to properties held in trust or by cooperative apartment corporations, while excluding certain types of housing. Additionally, the bill requires the state to develop and publish a list of documents that prove eligibility for this tax relief.

This bill allows the Nassau County tax assessor to accept a late application for real property tax exemption from an organization called Ray of Hope, Inc.

If the assessor determines the organization qualifies for the exemption, the bill authorizes correcting the tax records and potentially refunding any taxes already paid along with cancelling related penalties or liens. This legislation provides a specific administrative remedy for this single entity rather than changing general tax laws for the public.
