MINOR

The bill was amended to narrow the scope of the tax exemption it authorizes. Originally, the bill allowed the Power House Church to apply for a retroactive exemption covering tax years 2022, 2023, and 2024. The amendment removes the 2022 tax year, limiting the exemption to only 2023 and 2024, and updates the legal citation to reflect the correct section of the real property tax law.

Scope change

The bill's scope was reduced by removing the 2022 assessment year from the list of eligible tax years for the retroactive exemption.

SCOPE

The retroactive tax exemption is now limited to the 2023 and 2024 assessment rolls, removing the previously included 2022 assessment roll.

TECHNICAL

The legal citation for the tax exemption was changed from section 420-a to section 430 of the real property tax law.
