 AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the  city  of  New  York,  in
   relation  to the medical board of the New York city employees' retire-
   ment system

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   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
 performed  and  exercised  by the three physicians appointed pursuant to
 paragraph one of this subdivision, shall be performed and  exercised  by
 one  or  more groups of three physicians as hereinafter prescribed. Each
 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.
