Bill Summary
Relative to agricultural commission input on board of health regulations. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends a section of Massachusetts law to require local boards of health to provide municipal agricultural commissions with a copy of any proposed regulations that impact farmers markets, farms, the non-commercial keeping of poultry/livestock/bees, and non-commercial fruit/vegetable/plant production. The agricultural commission then has a 45-day review period to hold a public meeting and provide written comments and recommendations to the board of health. However, the board of health can still issue emergency orders without notice or hearing if it determines an emergency exists.
