   Section 1. Subdivision a of section 13-123 of the administrative  code
 of  the  city of New York, as amended by local law number 59 of the city
 of New York for the year 1996, is amended to read as follows:
   a. (1) There shall be a medical board of three physicians. One of such
 physicians shall be appointed by the board and shall hold office at  the
 pleasure  of  such  board, one shall be appointed by the commissioner of
 health and shall hold office at the pleasure of such  commissioner,  and
 the third shall be appointed by the commissioner of citywide administra-
 tive  services and shall hold office at the pleasure of such commission-
 er.
   (2) The board, the commissioner of  health  and  the  commissioner  of
 citywide administrative services shall each have power to appoint one or
 more but not exceeding [four] SEVEN alternate physicians, who shall hold
 office  at  the  pleasure of such appointing board or official. Whenever
 the board of trustees of the retirement  system  shall  so  direct,  the
 functions,  powers and duties of the medical board, in addition to being

 paragraph  one  of this subdivision, shall be performed and exercised by

 such  group of three physicians shall function separately as the medical
 board and each such group may consist partly of a  physician  or  physi-
 cians appointed pursuant to paragraph one of this subdivision and partly
 of one or more alternate physicians or may consist entirely of alternate
 physicians;  provided,  however, that one of the physicians or alternate
 physicians in each such group shall be appointed by the  board,  one  by
 the  commissioner  of  health  and  one  by the commissioner of citywide
 administrative services.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
