          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.  Subdivisions 1, 2 and 9 of section 1202-l of the tax law,
     2  as added by chapter 221 of the laws of 1991,  are  amended  to  read  as
     3  follows:
     4    (1)  Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law to the contrary, the
     5  county of Ulster is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt  and  amend
     6  local  laws  imposing in such county a tax, in addition to any other tax
     7  authorized and imposed pursuant to this article, such as the legislature
     8  has or would have the power and authority to impose upon persons occupy-
     9  ing hotel or motel rooms in such county.
    10    For the purposes of this section, the term "hotel"  or  "motel"  shall
    11  mean  and  include any facility [providing lodging on an overnight basis
    12  and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as "bed
    13  and breakfast" and "tourist" facilities] consisting  of  rentable  units
    14  and providing lodging on an overnight basis.
    15    The  rates  of  such tax imposed upon persons occupying hotel or motel
    16  rooms shall not exceed [two] four per cent of the per diem  rental  rate
    17  for  each room, provided, however, such tax shall not be applicable to a
    18  permanent resident of such hotel or  motel.    The  rates  of  such  tax
    19  imposed  upon persons occupying short-term rentals shall not exceed four
    20  per cent of the per diem rental rate for each room,  provided,  however,
    21  such  tax shall not be applicable to a permanent resident of such short-
    22  term rental. For the purposes of this section the term "permanent  resi-
    23  dent"  shall  mean  a  person  occupying any room or rooms in a hotel or
    24  motel or short-term rental for at least ninety consecutive days.
