Unless otherwise provided by law or its own by-laws, a public body, except for the District of Columbia Council, may conduct public meetings using the rules of parliamentary procedure set forth in the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order. A Public Body shall be clear and simple in its procedures and avoid invoking the finer points of parliamentary procedure when doing so would obscure the issues and confuse the public.
The Director may provide advice and training on parliamentary procedure upon request.
