Under N.J.S.A. 55:13A-7.10, the New Jersey Commissioner of Community Affairs is granted authority to create and formally adopt all rules and regulations needed to carry out the Hotel and Multiple Dwelling Law (N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq.). Any such regulations must be developed through the process established by the Administrative Procedure Act, ensuring public notice and comment opportunities. This provision is essentially an enabling clause that gives the Commissioner the regulatory tools to implement the broader statute.
