[Adopted 4-11-1995 ATM, Art. 26 (Ch. XXVI of the Town Bylaws)]
Any bylaw of the Town of Hopedale or rule or regulation of its
officers, boards or departments, the violation of which is subject
to a specific penalty, may, in the discretion of the person who is
the appropriate enforcing person, be enforced by the method provided
in MGL c. 40, § 21D. The noncriminal fine for each such
violation, if not otherwise specified, shall be $25.
[Amended 5-22-2021 ATM by Art. 1]
"Enforcing person," as used in this bylaw, shall mean any Town
police officer of the Town of Hopedale with respect to any offense
and such other officials as the Select Board may from time to time
designate, each with respect to violation of bylaws and rules and
regulations within their respective jurisdictions. If more than one
official has jurisdiction in a given case, any such official may be
an enforcing person with respect thereto.
Without intending to limit the generality of the foregoing,
it is the intention of this provision that the following bylaws, rules
and regulations 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.
