Mattapoisett, Mass., Bd. of Health Reg. 19:00 (2021) § 19:02
Applicability
Operative Text
These regulations pertain to the licensing and operation of hotels and motels within the Town of Mattapoisett. Every owner and operator of such an establishment shall comply with these regulations. The provisions of these regulations are in addition to and not in lieu of any other bylaw, rule, or regulation of the Town of Mattapoisett and official orders of any board, commission, or officer. These regulations must be posted on site for persons to view.
Section 19:02 of Mattapoisett's Board of Health Hotel and Motel Regulations establishes that these rules apply to the licensing and operation of all hotels and motels within the Town of Mattapoisett. Both owners and operators of such establishments are bound by these regulations, which exist alongside — not instead of — any other applicable town bylaws, rules, or official orders. The regulations must also be physically posted on-site where they can be viewed by the public.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 19:02, every owner and operator of a hotel or motel in Mattapoisett bears responsibility for complying with these Board of Health regulations as a condition of licensing and operation. Compliant operators generally ensure that the full set of regulations is posted in a visible, accessible location on the premises. Because § 19:02 makes clear these rules are additive, operators also account for all other applicable town bylaws, board orders, and official requirements simultaneously.
