Bill Summary
For legislation relative to agricultural commission input on board of health regulations. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require the board of health in a municipality with a municipal agricultural commission to provide the commission with a copy of any proposed regulations that impact farmers markets, farms, the non-commercial keeping of poultry, livestock, and bees, and the non-commercial production of fruit, vegetables, and horticultural plants. The agricultural commission would then have a 45-day review period to hold a public meeting and provide written comments and recommendations to the board of health. The bill also allows the board of health to issue emergency orders without a public hearing if they determine an emergency exists, but they must follow the local enforcement emergency procedures outlined in the law.
