This bylaw may be revoked by the Town in the same manner as it was accepted.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Rockland, Mass., Code of Bylaws CH. 288 § 288-2 establishes that the Town retains the authority to repeal or revoke this bylaw through the same procedural process by which it was originally adopted. In other words, the bylaw is not permanent by design — it can be undone through a formal town action that mirrors its enactment. This provision defines the mechanism for ending the bylaw's legal effect, not any ongoing obligation or right.
