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

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

 1 Section 1. The tax law is amended by adding a new section 1202-iii to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 1202-iii. Occupancy tax in the town of Plattsburgh. (1) Notwith-
 4 standing any other provision of law to the contrary, the town of Platts-
 5 burgh, in the county of Clinton, is hereby authorized and empowered to
 6 adopt and amend local laws imposing in such town a tax, in addition to
 7 any other tax authorized and imposed pursuant to this article, such as
 8 the legislature has or would have the power and authority to impose upon
 9 persons occupying any room for hire in any hotel. For the purposes of
 10 this section, the term "hotel" shall mean a building or portion of it
 11 which is regularly used and kept open as such for the lodging of guests.
 12 The term "hotel" includes an apartment hotel, a motel or a boarding
 13 house, whether or not meals are served. The rate of such tax shall not
 14 exceed five percent of the per diem rental rate for each room whether
 15 such room is rented on a daily or longer basis.
 16 (2) Such taxes may be collected and administered by the chief fiscal
 17 officer of the town of Plattsburgh by such means and in such manner as
 18 other taxes which are now collected and administered by such officer or
 19 as otherwise may be provided by such local law.
 20 (3) Such local laws may provide that any taxes imposed shall be paid
 21 by the person liable therefor to the owner of the room for hire in the
 22 tourist home, inn, club, hotel, motel or other similar place of public
 23 accommodation occupied or to the person entitled to be paid the rent or
 24 charge for the room for hire in the tourist home, inn, club, hotel,
 25 motel or other similar place of public accommodation occupied for and on

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
