Regulations
Operative Text
The Commissioner, in consultation with DoIT and DND, may promulgate regulations to carry out the provisions of this Section.
Boston Municipal Code § 9-14 § 9-14.12 grants the Commissioner, working alongside the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) and the Department of Neighborhood Development (DND), the authority to create and issue formal regulations that implement the broader requirements of this section. This is a standard enabling provision, meaning it does not itself impose specific duties but instead authorizes the development of more detailed rules. The regulations produced under this authority would carry the force of law once properly promulgated.
