Town Meeting Votes Become Bedford Bylaws

Compiled by The Bedford Citizen

While some votes at Town Meeting are immediately effective, changes to Bedford’s Bylaws require the approval of Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey.

In Healey’s January 11 letter to Town Clerk Doreen Tremblay, the following bylaws adopted at Special Town Meeting in November 2107 have been approved.

Approved General Bylaws:

  • Article 3 – Amendments Addressing Sign Illumination – Terminology, Unit of Measure, and Internally-Illuminated Sign Compliance Documentation
  • Article 5 – General Bylaw Amendment – Marijuana Establishments

Approved Zoning Bylaws

  • Article 4 -Zoning Bylaw Amendment – Non-Medical Marijuana Use
  • Article 6 – Zoning Bylaw Amendment  Temporary Moratorium on Recreational and Non-Medical Marijuana Establishments
  • Article 9 – Zoning Bylaw Amendment – Section 10 Nursing Care Facility
  • Article 10 – Zoning Bylaw  Designation of Nursing Care Facility

Pursuant to a provision in Massachusetts’ General Laws, in order for the bylaws to become official, they must be publically posted once approved.

On the Town’s website, Tremblay has noted that the bylaws will be available for viewing at Town Hall, in the Bedford Free Public Library, at the Department of Public Works building, at the Bedford Housing Authority, and at the Stop and Shop market.
