    Sec. 2. There is created the Geriatric Medicine Assistance Commission. The Commission shall receive and approve applications for grants from schools, recognized by the Department of Professional Regulation as being authorized to confer doctor of medicine, doctor of osteopathy, doctor of chiropractic or registered professional nursing degrees in the State, to help finance the establishment of geriatric medicine programs within such schools.

The Commission shall establish such rules and standards as it deems necessary for the implementation of this Act.

The members of the Commission shall be selected by the Governor from a list of recommendations submitted to him by organizations concerned with geriatric medicine or the care of the elderly.
    The terms of the members of the Commission shall be 4 years, except that of the members initially appointed, 2 shall be designated to serve until January 1, 1986, 3 until January 1, 1988, and 2 until January 1, 1990.
