These regulations are adopted under Massachusetts General Laws
MGL c. 111, § 31, and 105 CMR 430, Minimum Standards for
Recreational Camps for Children (State Sanitary Code: Chapter IV).
Acting in accordance with the above authorities, the Lexington
Board of Health hereby adopts the following recreational camp for
children regulations as reasonable requirements for the protection
and promotion of the health and safety of all users of such facilities.
All provisions of 105 CMR 430.000 are hereby adopted as local Board
of Health regulations and are incorporated into these regulations
by such adoption. The purpose of these regulations is to supplement
those areas insufficiently or unclearly addressed in 105 CMR 430.000,
Minimum Standards for Recreational Camps for Children.
No recreational camp will operate without a license from the
Board of Health. Any person or program that promotes or advertises
itself as a camp, even if it does not meet the criteria of a recreational
camp as defined within 105 CMR 430.020, must be licensed as a recreational
camp for children prior to operating.
Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Board of Health
with respect to the provisions of these regulations and 105 CMR 430.000
may seek relief therefrom in any court of competent jurisdiction,
as provided by the laws of the commonwealth.
In the event any section of these regulations is found to be
invalid or unconstitutional, the remaining sections shall not be affected.
