   24  ment  exemption provided for in subdivision (ee), the clothing and foot-

   28  city, county or school district elects otherwise as to either such resi-
   29  dential solar energy systems equipment exemption or  such  clothing  and
   30  footwear  exemption or such qualified empire zone enterprise exemptions;
   31  provided that if such a city having a population of one million or  more
   32  in which the taxes imposed by section eleven hundred seven of this chap-
   33  ter  are in effect enacts the resolution described in subdivision (k) of
   34  this section  or  repeals  such  resolution  or  enacts  the  resolution
   35  described  in subdivision (l) of this section or repeals such resolution
   36  or enacts the resolution described in subdivision (n) of this section or
   37  repeals such resolution, such resolution or repeal shall also be  deemed
   38  to  amend  any local law, ordinance or resolution enacted by such a city
   39  imposing such taxes pursuant  to  the  authority  of  this  subdivision,
   40  whether or not such taxes are suspended at the time such city enacts its
   41  resolution pursuant to subdivision (k), (l) or (n) of this section or at
   42  the time of any such repeal; provided, further, that any such local law,
   43  ordinance  or  resolution and section eleven hundred seven of this chap-
   44  ter, as deemed to be amended in the event a city of one million or  more
   45  enacts a resolution pursuant to the authority of subdivision (k), (l) or
   46  (n)  of  this  section, shall be further amended, as provided in section
   47  twelve hundred eighteen of this subpart, so that the  residential  solar
   48  energy   systems  equipment  exemption  or  the  clothing  and  footwear
   49  exemption or the qualified empire zone enterprise exemptions in any such
   50  local law, ordinance or resolution or in  such  section  eleven  hundred
   51  seven  are the same, as the case may be, as the residential solar energy
   52  systems equipment exemption provided for in subdivision (ee), the cloth-
   53  ing and footwear exemption in paragraph thirty of subdivision (a) or the
   54  qualified empire  zone  enterprise  exemptions  in  subdivision  (z)  of
