Proposed regulations will be presented to the Health Agent for review and comment prior to submission to the Board of Health for consideration and potential adoption.
The Board respectfully asks the Committee to submit a progress report to the Select Board by August 4, 2023 and to provide the Select Board with a copy of the proposed regulations at the same time they are submitted to the Board of Health.
