 Introduced by Sen. HINCHEY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to authorizing the town of
 Clinton to impose a occupancy tax; and providing for the repeal of
 such provisions upon expiration thereof

 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-ll to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 1202-ll. Occupancy tax in the town of Clinton. (1) Notwithstanding
 4 any other provisions of law to the contrary, the town of Clinton, in the
 5 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 legisla-
 8 ture has or would have the power and authority to impose upon persons
 9 occupying hotel or motel rooms in such town. For the purposes of this
 10 section, the term "hotel" or "motel" shall mean and include any facility
 11 consisting of rentable units and providing lodging on an overnight basis
 12 and shall include those facilities designated and commonly known as "bed
 13 and breakfast", "conference center", "agricultural event venue" and
 14 "tourist" facilities. The rates of such tax shall not exceed three
 15 percent of the per diem rental rate for each room, provided however,
 16 that such tax shall not be applicable to a permanent resident of a hotel
 17 or motel. For the purposes of this section the term "permanent resident"
 18 shall mean a person occupying any room or rooms in a hotel or motel for
 19 at least thirty consecutive days.
 20 (2) Such tax may be collected and administered by the chief fiscal
 21 officer of the town of Clinton by such means and in such manner as other
 22 taxes which are now collected and administered by such officer or as
 23 otherwise may be provided by such local law.
 24 (3) Such local laws may provide that any tax imposed shall be paid by
 25 the person liable therefor to the owner of the hotel or motel room occu-
 26 pied or to the person entitled to be paid the rent or charge for the
