   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

   (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.
