  Section  1.  Subdivision 4 of section 903 of the public health law, as
amended by chapter 639 of the laws  of  1996,  is  amended  to  read  as

  4. Within such time as the commissioner shall by regulation provide, a
recipient  of  an award shall have practiced as a primary care physician
in an underserved area in the state of New York or, in  the  case  of  a
recipient of an award after completion of residency training, the recip-
ient  shall  have  practiced  in  an underserved area for that number of
months calculated by multiplying by twelve the number of  annual  awards
received  by  the  recipient.  If a recipient fails to comply fully with
such conditions[,]:

amount to be determined by the formula:

                                    A = 2B(t-s)
                                          -----
                                             t

In  which "A" is the amount the president is entitled to recover, "B" is
the sum of all payments made to the recipient and the interest  on  such
amount which would be payable if at the times such awards were paid they
were  loans  bearing interest at the maximum prevailing rate; "t" is the
total number of months in the recipient's period of obligated  services;
and  "s"  is  the  number of months of services actually rendered by the
