Section 924-B. Waiver of interest or penalties or other charges on brownfield properties  


Latest version.
  • Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  law  to  the
      contrary, the governing body of any tax district shall be authorized, by
      resolution,  to  permit the enforcing officer to effect the cancellation
      in whole or in part of any interest, penalties or other charges on  real
      property  where  such  real  property  is  subject  to a brownfield site
      clean-up agreement entered into  by  a  volunteer  pursuant  to  section
      27-1409  of  the environmental conservation law. Provided, however, that
      in cases where such interest, penalties, or other charges, if  collected
      by  a  tax  district,  belong to a municipal corporation within such tax
      district, no reduction  or  remission  in  whole  or  in  part  of  such
      interest,  penalties, or other charges shall be made without the consent
      of the municipal corporation affected, which consent  may  be  given  by
      resolution adopted after a public hearing. Failure of such real property
      to  receive  a  certificate of completion pursuant to section 27-1419 of
      the environmental conservation law or  revocation  of  such  certificate
      shall be grounds for revocation of any waiver of interest, penalties, or
      charges granted pursuant to this section.
