Rules and regulations
Operative Text
The Commissioner is authorized to make and adopt such written rules and regulations as may be necessary for the proper enforcement and interpretation of this chapter and to secure the intent thereof. Such rules and regulations shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance of the Village of Tuckahoe, nor shall they have the effect of waiving any provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance. Such rules and regulations shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this chapter and the penalty for violation of the provisions of this chapter. Such rules and regulations shall be submitted to the local legislative body by the Commissioner. Failure of the Board of Trustees to approve, reject or modify such rules and regulations within 30 days after submission shall be deemed to constitute approval thereof. Said rules and regulations, as approved by the local legislative body, shall be on file and available as a matter of public record.
Under Tuckahoe, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 12 § 12-166, the Commissioner has authority to create written rules and regulations needed to enforce and interpret the chapter, provided those rules do not conflict with or waive any existing village ordinances. Once submitted to the Board of Trustees, the rules are considered approved if the Board takes no action within 30 days. Approved rules carry the same legal weight as the chapter itself, including its penalty provisions, and must be kept on file as a public record.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under ch. 12 § 12-166 should be aware that the Commissioner may issue binding rules and regulations that carry the same enforcement weight as the underlying chapter. Compliant operators generally monitor the public record for newly adopted regulations, since approved rules—whether acted on or deemed approved by the Board of Trustees' inaction—can affect obligations and penalties. Staying current with any filed regulations helps operators align their practices with the chapter's requirements.
