§ 20. Civil defense commission established; state director
1. There is hereby continued in the division of military and naval affairs in the executive department a state civil defense commission to consist of the same members as the members of the disaster preparedness commission as established in article two-B of the executive law. In addition, the [fig 1] superintendent of [fig 2] financial services, the chairman of the workers' compensation board and the director of the division of veterans' affairs shall be members. The governor shall designate one of the members of the commission to be the chairman thereof. The commission may provide for its division into subcommittees and for action by such subcommittees with the same force and effect as action by the full commission. The members of the commission, except for those who serve ex officio, shall be allowed their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties under this article but shall receive no additional compensation for services rendered pursuant to this article.
2. The commission may from time to time establish, alter, or abolish civil defense districts in the state and establish or abolish district offices of civil defense.
3. The commission may appoint and at its pleasure remove a state director, who may be a member of the commission, prescribe his duties and fix his compensation within the appropriation made available therefor, provided, however, that if the director so appointed is receiving compensation for services as an officer or employee of the state he shall receive no additional compensation for services rendered pursuant to this article but shall be allowed his actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his duties under this article. Such state director, subject to the supervision and control of the commission, shall exercise all of the functions, powers and duties of the commission which may be delegated to him by the commission.
4. The state director, with the approval of the commission, shall appoint and may remove such deputies, assistants, counsel and employees as may be deemed necessary and fix their salaries within the appropriation made available therefor.
