Bill Summary
Relative to agricultural commission input on board of health regulations
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 31 of Chapter 111 of the General Laws to require that in municipalities with a municipal agricultural commission, the board of health must provide the commission with a copy of any proposed regulations that impact farmers markets, farms, and the non-commercial keeping of poultry, livestock, and bees, as well as the non-commercial production of fruit, vegetables, and horticultural plants. 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. The board of health must comply with the local enforcement emergency procedures set forth in department regulations.
