 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing the town of

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 1202-ll to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 1202-ll. Occupancy tax in the town of Rhinebeck. (1) Notwithstanding
 4 any other provision of law to the contrary, the town of Rhinebeck, in
 5 the county of Dutchess, is hereby authorized and empowered to adopt and
 6 amend local laws imposing in such town a tax, in addition to any other
 7 tax authorized and imposed pursuant to this article, such as the legis-
 8 lature has or would have the power and authority to impose upon persons
 9 occupying any room for hire in any hotel. For the purposes of this
 10 section, the term "hotel" shall mean a building or portion of it which
 11 is regularly used and kept open as such for the lodging of guests. The
 12 term "hotel" includes an apartment hotel, a motel or a boarding house,
 13 whether or not meals are served. The rate of such tax shall not exceed
 14 three percent of the per diem rental rate for each room whether such
 15 room is rented on a daily or longer basis.
