AI Summary
This bill prohibits local boards of health from banning the sale of any consumer products that are legally sold in the Commonwealth, unless they receive approval from the town meeting or city council to create such a by-law. However, the bill allows boards of health to take emergency action to address a specific health code violation or immediate health concern related to a specific consumer product or location, as long as the action is not taken solely to ban the legal sale of the product.
