Plastic Bag Prohibition Bylaw

Note: This bylaw was passed after two readings and a long process of effort by the FHS students who picked up where their classmates efforts left off in 2016-2017. Kudos to the students for their civic engagement in a constructive and informative manner.

From my notes reported live during the Feb 12, 2020 meeting of the Town Council
"10. LEGISLATION FOR ACTION
