§ 2896-a. Board of examiners of nursing home administrators. 1.  There
  shall  be  within  the  department  a board of examiners of nursing home
  administrators  consisting  of  thirteen  members   appointed   by   the
  commissioner,  all  of  whom  shall be citizens of the United States and
  residents of the state of New York. The board shall be composed  of  one
  physician,  one  hospital  administrator,  one  professional  registered
  nurse, three nursing home administrators employed in proprietary nursing
  homes and  three  nursing  home  administrators  employed  in  voluntary
  nursing  homes,  each  of  whom  shall  have  not  less than five years'
  experience in the care of chronically ill or infirm aged patients. Three
  members shall be representative of the public and one  member  shall  be
  appointed   from   a   college   providing  training  for  nursing  home
  administrators. A member's term shall expire upon a  change  of  status.
  Each   member   appointed  from  a  profession  requiring  licensure  or
  registration to practice in the state shall be  licensed  or  registered
  except  for  those  nursing  home  administrators first appointed to the
  board who shall be required only to possess the  qualifications  and  be
  eligible for licensure as required by this article.
2.  The  term  of office of the members shall be three years; provided
  however, that of the members first appointed, three shall  be  appointed
  for  a  term  which  shall  expire  on  June thirtieth, nineteen hundred
  seventy-one; four for a term  which  shall  expire  on  June  thirtieth,
  nineteen  hundred seventy-two; and four for a term which shall expire on
  June thirtieth, nineteen hundred seventy-three;  and  provided  however,
  that  of  the  members  first appointed on the expansion of the board to
  thirteen members, one shall be appointed for a term which  shall  expire
  on  June  thirtieth,  nineteen  hundred seventy-four; and one for a term
  which shall expire on June thirtieth, nineteen hundred seventy-six.   No
  member shall serve for more than two consecutive terms.  Before entering
  upon his term of office every board member shall file with the secretary
  of state the constitutional oath of office.  Vacancies in the membership
  of  the  board,  however  created,  shall be filled in the manner of the
  original appointment by the commissioner for  the  unexpired  term.  Any
  member  may  be  removed by the commissioner for misconduct, incapacity,
  incompetence, or neglect of duty.
3. Each member of the board shall receive  a  per  diem  allowance  as
  determined  by the commissioner for the time spent in the performance of
  his official duties and shall be reimbursed for all proper traveling and
  incidental expenses in carrying out the provisions of this article.
4. The commissioner shall designate an  officer  or  employee  of  the
  department  to  act as secretary to the board, who shall not be a member
  of the board.
5. The board at its first meeting to be held within thirty days  after
  appointment,  and annually thereafter at its first meeting in each year,
  shall organize and elect from its members a chairman.
6. The board, for the purpose of transacting its business, shall  meet
  at  least  once  every  six  months  at  times  and places designated by
  resolution. Special meetings also may be held at such times as the board
  may elect, or on the call of the commissioner. A written notice  of  the
  time,  place  and  purpose of any special meeting shall be mailed by the
  secretary to all members of the board at least fifteen days  before  the
  date of the meeting.
7.  A  majority  of the members of the board shall constitute a quorum
  for the transaction of business at any meeting.
8. The commissioner  shall  establish  an  advisory  council,  broadly
  representative of the health professions and the public, to provide such
  technical  assistance  as  the  board or the commissioner shall request.
  Members shall serve without compensation but  shall  be  reimbursed  for

  expenses  actually  and necessarily incurred in the performance of their
  duties.
