A house RESOLUTION

to provide a procedure for allotting seats to 
members of the house of representatives for the 2025 and 2026 sessions of the 
general assembly.

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That for the purposes of allotting seats to the 
members of the House of Representatives for the 2025 and 2026 Sessions of the 
General Assembly, the following procedure is 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 2025 and 2026 Sessions of the General Assembly, they shall 
incorporate the above provision as part of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives with an appropriate numerical designation.
