 3 § 1202-iii. Hotel or motel taxes in the town of Highlands. (1)
 4 Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, the town of
 5 Highlands, in the county of Orange, is hereby authorized and empowered
 6 to adopt and amend local laws imposing in such town a tax, in addition
 7 to any other tax authorized and imposed pursuant to this article such as

 9 persons occupying hotel or motel rooms in such town. For the purposes of
 10 this section, the term "hotel" or "motel" shall mean and include any

 16 permanent resident of a hotel or motel. For the purposes of this section
 17 the term "permanent resident" shall mean a person occupying any room or
 18 rooms in a hotel or motel for at least ninety consecutive days.
