    18  pursuant to the authority of this subdivision, whether or not such taxes
    19  are suspended at the time  such  city  repeals  its  resolution  enacted

    15  a  city  having a population of one million or more repeals a resolution
    16  described in former subdivision (p) of this section, such  repeal  shall
    17  also  be  deemed to amend any local law, ordinance or resolution enacted
    18  by such a city imposing such taxes pursuant to  the  authority  of  this
    19  subdivision,  whether  or  not such taxes are suspended at the time such
    20  city repeals its resolution enacted pursuant to former  subdivision  (p)

    30  equipment  and  electricity  exemption,  such  commercial  solar  energy
    31  systems equipment and electricity exemption, commercial fuel cell  elec-

    35  district, imposing the taxes authorized by this subdivision, shall  omit
    36  the hot or prepared food items exemption provided for in paragraph one-a
    37  of  subdivision  (a)  of section eleven hundred fifteen of this chapter,

    39  that  if  such  a city having a population of one million or more enacts
    40  the resolution described in subdivision (t) of this section  or  repeals
    41  such resolution, such resolution or repeal shall also be deemed to amend
    42  any  local  law, ordinance or resolution enacted by such a city imposing
    43  such taxes pursuant to the authority of this subdivision, whether or not
    44  such taxes are suspended at the time such  city  enacts  its  resolution
    45  pursuant  to  subdivision  (t)  of  this  section or at the time of such
    46  repeal; provided, further, that any such local law, ordinance or  resol-

    51  subpart,  so  that  the hot or prepared food items exemption in any such
    52  local law, ordinance or resolution or in  such  section  eleven  hundred
    53  seven  of  this  chapter  is  the same as the hot or prepared food items
    54  exemption in paragraph  one-a  of  subdivision  (a)  of  section  eleven
    55  hundred  fifteen  of  this  chapter.  (iii)  Any local law, ordinance or

    16  elects  otherwise;  provided  that if such a city having a population of
    17  one million or more repeals a resolution described in former subdivision
    18  (p) of this section, such repeal shall also be deemed to amend any local
    19  law, ordinance or resolution enacted by such a city imposing such  taxes
    20  pursuant to the authority of this subdivision, whether or not such taxes
    21  are  suspended  at  the  time  such  city repeals its resolution enacted
    22  pursuant to former subdivision (p) of this section;  provided,  further,
    23  that  any  such  local  law,  ordinance or resolution and section eleven
