   Section 1.  Subdivisions 1, 2 and 9 of section 1202-l of the tax  law,
 as  added  by  chapter  221  of the laws of 1991, are 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

 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 [providing lodging on an  overnight  basis
 and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as "bed

 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

 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.
