Amends House Rule 3.10 to prioritize seating for members who have been desk mates for eight or more years.

This bill amends Rule 3.10 of the Rules of the House of Representatives to change the procedure for allocating seats. It prioritizes seating for members who have been desk mates for eight or more years. If multiple such pairs exist, they select their seats by seniority. The Clerk prepares ballots for each county, and the Speaker directs the drawing of these ballots. Members may choose to sit with the delegation of their choice if their district spans multiple counties.
