Section 1. Diabetes Task Force. a. There is hereby established a diabetes task force, which shall examine the epidemic of diabetes in the city of New York and recommend a comprehensive, citywide strategy to reduce such epidemic, which shall include, but not be limited to, recommendations related to improving nutrition, increasing access to affordable exercise programs, reducing diabetes-related health care disparities, and increasing public awareness regarding diabetes prevention.
b. The diabetes task force shall be comprised of seven members, three of whom shall be appointed by the speaker of the city council and four of whom shall be appointed by the mayor; provided, however, that one of the appointments by the mayor shall be the commissioner of the department of health and mental hygiene, or his or her designee, who shall serve in an ex-officio capacity and be the chairperson of such task force.
c. Each member of the diabetes task force shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority without compensation, except that each member shall be allowed actual and necessary expenses to be audited in the same manner as other city charges. Any member may be removed at any time by the appointing authority and any vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment; provided, however, that the requirements of this paragraph shall not apply to the commissioner of the department of health and mental hygiene.
d. The diabetes task force shall serve for a period of two years, and shall meet at least four times annually.
e.
