  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subdivisions 3 and 4 of section 402 of the public housing
law, as amended by chapter 531 of the laws of 2010, are amended to  read
as follows:
  3. On and after May first, nineteen hundred fifty-eight, the authority
shall consist of three members appointed by the mayor, one of whom shall
be  designated  by  the mayor as chairman removable at his pleasure. The
members other than the chairman first appointed for terms commencing  on
May first, nineteen hundred fifty-eight, shall be appointed for terms of
three  and  five  years,  respectively. Thereafter the term of office of
each member other than the chairman shall be five years. The mayor shall
file with the commissioner of housing a certificate  of  appointment  of
the  chairman and of each member. Any member other than the chairman may
be removed by the mayor for cause after a public hearing. [On and  after
July  first  in the year next succeeding the year in which this sentence
shall take effect, the] THE authority shall consist of [one]  TWO  addi-
tional [member] MEMBERS who shall be appointed by the mayor and shall be
removable  at his or her pleasure. Such additional [member] MEMBERS must
be eighteen years of age or older and be the  tenant  of  record  or  an
authorized member of the tenant household, in good standing, residing in
one  of the three hundred thirty-five federal projects owned or operated
by the authority. A vacancy in the office of a  member  other  than  the
chairman  or  the additional tenant [member] MEMBERS occurring otherwise
than by expiration of term shall  be  filled  for  the  unexpired  term;
provided,  however,  that  a  vacancy in the seat held by the additional
tenant [member] MEMBERS  shall be filled by the mayor within thirty days
of such vacancy.
