AI Summary
This bill prohibits local boards of health from banning the sale of tobacco products that are legally sold in the Commonwealth without the approval of the town meeting or city council. However, the bill allows boards of health to take emergency action to address immediate health concerns related to a specific tobacco product or location, such as a health code violation, without banning the legal sale of tobacco products. The purpose of the bill is to prevent local boards of health from unilaterally banning the sale of legally sold tobacco products.
