The Commissioner and the Public Health Council are defined by law as constituting the Department of Public Health.  The Council has one regular meeting per month.  These meetings are open to public attendance except when the Council meets in Executive Session.  The Council’s meetings are not hearings, nor do members of the public have a right to speak or address the Council.  The docket will indicate whether or not floor discussions are anticipated.  For purposes of fairness since the regular meeting is not a hearing and is not advertised as such, presentations from the floor may require delaying a decision until a subsequent meeting.
