Once this statutory duty is fulfilled,(1)general by-laws <br /> and amendments take effect on the date that these posting and publishing requirements are satisfied unless <br /> a later effective date is prescribed in the by-law,and (2)zoning by-laws and amendments are deemed to <br /> have taken effect from the date they were voted by Town Meeting, unless a later effective date is <br /> prescribed in the by-law. <br /> If the Attorney General has disapproved and deleted one or more portions of any by-law or by-law <br /> amendment submitted for approval,only those portions approved are to be posted and published pursuant <br /> to G.L.c.40,§32. We ask that you forward to us a copy of the final text of the by-law or by-law <br /> amendments reflecting any such deletion. It will be sufficient to send us a copy of the text posted and <br /> published by the Town Clerk pursuant to this statute. <br /> Nothing in the Attorney General's approval authorizes an exemption from any applicable state law or <br /> regulation governing the subject of the by-law submitted for approval. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> TfIGMS F.
