A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO PROVIDE A PROCEDURE FOR ALLOTTING SEATS TO
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE
1989 AND 1990 SESSIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That for the purposes of allotting seats to members of the House of
Representatives for the 1989 and 1990 sessions of the General Assembly
the following procedure be adopted:
"As soon as practicable, after the House has been organized,
the seats of the members shall be allotted as follows:
The Clerk shall prepare a ballot for each county with only its name
printed on it. These shall be put in a closed box. The Speaker shall then
direct a person or persons to draw them out, one by one. As each ballot
is drawn, the delegation from that county shall select their seats, in
accordance with the county in which the member resides. In the event
a member's district consists of more than one county, the member may
elect to be seated with the delegation the member desires, provided the
member indicates the preference to the Clerk of the House prior to
balloting. No delegation may select more than one seat on the main
aisle."
Be it further resolved that when the House adopts its rules for the 1989
and 1990 sessions, they shall incorporate the above provision as part of
the House rules with an appropriate numerical designation.
