Whoever violates any provision of these bylaws, the violation
of which is subject to a specific penalty, may be penalized by a noncriminal
disposition as provided in MGL c. 40, § 21D. The noncriminal
method of disposition may also be used for violations of any rule
or regulation of any municipal officer, board or department which
is subject to a specific penalty.
Without intending to limit the generality of the foregoing,
it is the intention of this provision that the zoning and regular
bylaws and sections of bylaws are to be included within the scope
of this article, that the specific penalties as listed here shall
apply in such cases and that in addition to police officers, who shall
in all cases be considered enforcing persons for the purpose of this
provision, the municipal personnel listed for each section, if any,
shall also be enforcing persons for such sections; each day on which
any violation exists shall be deemed to be a separate offense.
