 make recommendations to reduce and minimize exposure to New  York  state
 residents. The scope of such study shall include:
   1.  Examine  the need for interagency coordination of public education
 and outreach and prevention programs;
   2. Examine the need for training, education and possible licensing  of
 radon services providers; and
   3.  Review  of  any other related information that the commissioner of
 health may deem necessary or relevant in carrying out such study.
   § 3. 1. The task force shall consist of seven members as follows:
   a. the secretary of state or the secretary's designee;
   b. the commissioner of health or such commissioner's designee;
   c. the commissioner of labor or such commissioner's designee;
   d. two members to be appointed by the governor, one of whom  shall  be
