A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the composition of the fire department pension fund medical board.

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows: 

Section 1.  Subdivision a of section 13-323 of the administrative code of the city of New York 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 [hospitals] health and mental hygiene and shall hold office at the pleasure of such commissioner, and the third shall be [the chief medical examiner of the city civil service commission] appointed by the commissioner of citywide administrative services and shall hold office at the pleasure of such commissioner.

(2)  The board, the commissioner of health and mental hygiene and the commissioner of citywide administrative services shall each have power to appoint one or more but not exceeding four alternate physicians, who shall hold office at the pleasure of such appointing board or official.  Whenever the board of trustees of the pension fund 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 physicians appointed pursuant to such paragraph one 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 mental hygiene and one by the commissioner of citywide administrative services.

                     §2.                     This local law shall take effect immediately upon its enactment.
