The Procedural Manual outlines the parliamentary procedure that is utilized during the Model Congress. It is developed using Robert's Rules of Order and United States Congressional Procedures. It is adapted to ensure the best possible debate experience during the conference.
Legislation should be submitted as an unformatted word document. There should be no bold, italicized or otherwise altered text. Lines should not be numbered and the heading should be left blank.
