Sturdy v. St. Office of Minority Women Bus. Assist

1 Citing case

  1. Crown Ele. Supply v. Somwba

    51 Mass. App. Ct. 753 (Mass. App. Ct. 2001)   Cited 1 times

    Recognizing "that a regulation may be authorized though not traceable to specific statutory language, [and] that powers granted include those reasonably implied," Beth Israel Hosp. Assn. v. Board of Registration in Med., 401 Mass. 172, 176 (1987), we conclude that SOMWBA had the authority to promulgate regulations relating to the certification of a "women-owned business." We note that Sturdy v. State Office of Minority Women Bus. Assistance, 409 Mass. 587, 589 (1991), concluded that G.L.c. 23A, ?? 40-44, did not give SOMWBA the power to promulgate regulations. Sturdy, however, was decided prior to the addition of cl. 10 to ? 44.
