  (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the  contrary,  the

local laws imposing in such county a tax, in addition to any  other  tax
authorized  and imposed pursuant to this article such as the legislature

ing hotel or motel rooms in  such  county.  For  the  purposes  of  this

ties designated and commonly known as "bed and breakfast" and  "tourist"

  The rates of such tax shall not exceed [three] FOUR percent of the per

not be applicable to a permanent resident of a hotel or motel.  For  the
purposes  of  this  section  the  term "permanent resident" shall mean a
person occupying any room or rooms in a hotel  or  motel  for  at  least
fourteen consecutive days.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
