The final draft versions of the PP&TS will be distributed to Council and co-sponsoring organizations at least one week prior to the in-person annual meeting.

The 2024 Practice Parameters and Technical Standards will be voted on by Councilors at the ACR Annual Meeting in Washington DC, on April 16^th.

Per the resolution passed by the Council,

• The final draft version of the PP&TS will be presented to Council as a consent agenda. Persistent ACR member concerns may be resolved by extraction of an individual PP&TS by an ACR Councilor after a motion. Unextracted PP&TS will be passed with the consent agenda after a simple majority vote by Council.
• An extracted PP&TS will go through the reconciliation process again for presentation at the next Annual Meeting unless Council determines, by a simple majority vote, that the PP&TS in question needs to be discussed at the current Annual Meeting due to the importance of having an active/updated PP&TS on the subject. 
• Should an extracted PP&TS be determined to warrant discussion at the current Annual Meeting, standard parliamentary procedure states that any discussion point not previously brought up during the dedicated, virtual PP&TS meeting is out of order.
• Extracted PP&TS will revert to the most recently approved version, until superseded by a newer version approved by Council.
