A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO PROVIDE A PROCEDURE FOR ALLOTTING SEATS TO
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR THE
1995 AND 1996 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 1995 and 1996 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 must be allotted as follows:
The Clerk shall prepare a ballot for each county with only its
name printed on it. These must 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
1995 and 1996 sessions, they shall incorporate the above provision
as part of the House rules with an appropriate numerical
designation.
