Overview

  • Bill Number: S 7762
  • Title: Authorizes the assessor of the town of Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, to accept an application for a real property tax exemption from Ministerios Sion, Inc.
  • Purpose (as stated by bill title): Enables the Brookhaven town assessor to accept an exemption application from Ministerios Sion, Inc. for real property tax exemption.
  • Status: REFERRED TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT
  • Introduced: May 5, 2025
  • Sponsor: Dean Murray (primary)
  • Related bills: A 8334 (companion)

What the bill would do

  • The bill authorizes the assessor of the Town of Brookhaven to accept an application from Ministerios Sion, Inc. for a real property tax exemption.
  • The text provided does not specify additional criteria, timelines, or steps beyond authorization to accept the application. It is focused on enabling acceptance of the exemption application rather than granting or denying the exemption itself.

Key provisions (as can be inferred from the bill title)

  • Authorization for acceptance: The core provision is that the Brookhaven assessor may accept an exemption application from Ministerios Sion, Inc. for real property tax exemption.
  • Scope and applicability are not detailed in the summary provided; it does not specify the property, exemption type (e.g., religious, charitable), or any eligibility thresholds within this bill alone.

Who would be affected

  • Ministerios Sion, Inc.: Would be able to submit an application for real property tax exemption to the Brookhaven assessor.
  • Town of Brookhaven (and Suffolk County): Potentially affected tax revenue if exemption is granted, since approved exemptions reduce taxable value and local tax collections.
  • Brookhaven Assessor’s Office: Responsible for processing the exemption application if the bill becomes law.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduced: May 5, 2025
  • Current stage: Referred to Local Government (two identical entries shown in Legislative Actions)
  • Next steps: If Local Government committee approves, the bill would proceed to floor action in the Senate, move to the Assembly (via companion A 8334), and, if passed in both houses, proceed to the governor for signature or veto. The companion bill suggests parallel action in the Assembly.

Legislative context

  • Companion Bills: A 8334 (noted as a companion in the Assembly)
  • Significance of companion status: Indicates alignment between Senate and Assembly on this policy change, typically aimed at providing reciprocal approval pathways for exemptions.

Notes and considerations

  • The summary provided does not include fiscal impact, eligibility criteria, property details, or exemption type (religious, charitable, etc.). Those elements would be clarified in the bill’s full text and any fiscal note.
  • As a local-government measure, it specifically targets the Town of Brookhaven and Ministerios Sion, Inc., rather than broad state-wide applicability.
