Whoever violates any provision of these bylaws
or regulations, 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 following
bylaws and sections of bylaws are to be included within the scope
of this section, 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.
