   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1. Subdivision 1 of section 1202-l of the tax law, as amended
 by a chapter of the laws of 2023 amending the tax law relating to  hotel
 and  motel  taxes  in  Ulster  county,  as proposed in legislative bills
 numbers S.  6896 and A. 7200, is amended to read as follows:
   (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to  the  contrary,  the
 county  of  Ulster 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
 has or would have the power and authority to impose upon persons occupy-
 ing hotel or motel rooms in such county.
   For  the  purposes  of this section, the term "hotel" or "motel" shall
 mean and include any facility consisting of rentable units [and  provid-
 ing] THAT PROVIDES lodging on an overnight basis.
   The  rates  of  such tax imposed upon persons occupying hotel or motel
 rooms shall not exceed four per cent of the per  diem  rental  rate  for
 each  room,  provided,  however,  such  tax shall not be applicable to a
 permanent resident of such hotel or motel.    [The  rates  of  such  tax
 imposed  upon persons occupying short-term rentals shall not exceed four
 per cent of the per diem rental rate for each room,  provided,  however,
 such  tax shall not be applicable to a permanent resident of such short-
 term rental.] For the purposes of this section the term "permanent resi-
 dent" shall mean a person occupying any room or  rooms  in  a  hotel  or
 motel [or short-term rental] for at least ninety consecutive days.
   §  2.  This  act  shall  take  effect on the same date and in the same
 manner as a chapter of the laws of 2023 amending the tax law relating to
 hotel and motel taxes in Ulster county, as proposed in legislative bills
 numbers S. 6896 and A. 7200, takes effect.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
