        AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the  city  of  New  York,  in

     3  of New York for the year 1996, is amended to read as follows:
     4    a. (1) There shall be a medical board of three physicians. One of such
     5  physicians  shall be appointed by the board and shall hold office at the
     6  pleasure of such board, one shall be appointed by  the  commissioner  of
     7  health  and  shall hold office at the pleasure of such commissioner, and
     8  the third shall be appointed by the commissioner of citywide administra-
     9  tive services and shall hold office at the pleasure of such  commission-
    10  er.
    11    (2)  The  board,  the  commissioner  of health and the commissioner of
    12  citywide administrative services shall each have power to appoint one or
    13  more but not exceeding [four] seven alternate physicians, who shall hold
    14  office at the pleasure of such appointing board  or  official.  Whenever
    15  the  board  of  trustees  of  the retirement system shall so direct, the
    16  functions, powers and duties of the medical board, in addition to  being

    24  physicians; provided, however, that one of the physicians  or  alternate
    25  physicians  in  each  such group shall be appointed by the board, one by
    26  the commissioner of health and  one  by  the  commissioner  of  citywide
    27  administrative services.
