   Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 1202-o of the tax law, as added by

   (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to  the  contrary,  the
 county  of  Seneca is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt and amend
 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

 fast" and "tourist" facilities.
   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
 thirty consecutive days.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
