Bill Summary
For legislation to prohibit local boards of health from banning the sale of consumer products sold legally in the Commonwealth. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits local boards of health from banning the sale of consumer products that are legally sold in the Commonwealth, unless the city or town's legislative body (town meeting or city council) approves a bylaw to do so. However, the bill allows boards of health to take emergency action to address immediate health concerns or code violations related to a specific product or location, without needing legislative approval for a ban.
