Wilkins stepped down Thursday in the wake of a sexual harassment controversy.
Under the House Rules, Independent Delegate Lacey Putney of Bedford - who is the chairman of the House Privileges and Elections Committee, will become acting speaker.
Salem Delegate and House Majority Leader Morgan Griffith is considered by many to be the leading contender for Speaker.
Griffith hopes an internal struggle for the post can be avoided.

((Movie Review "The Bourne Identity"
Universal
"The Bourne Identity" is a good old fashioned suspense
thriller, set in exotic locales with appealing
characters.
Matt Damon plays a man found floating in the ocean. He
has been shot twice but is still alive, and he has no
memory of who he is.
He discovers that he speaks several languages fluently
and knows martial arts and how to handle a gun. He
just doesn't know why.
He also finds in his possession, the numbers to a
Swiss account which holds a safety deposit box full of
passports from different countries, each with his
picture, a large stash of money in different
currencies, and a gun. And, suddenly people are trying
to kill him.
He decides his name is Jason Bourne, and he goes on
the run trying to find out who and what he is before
agents from a shadowy government agency can eliminate
him. He teams up with Marie, a strange young woman,
who herself is a kind of drifter. Marie agrees to
drive Jason to Paris for his offer of ten thousand
dollars and she becomes a target as well. Chris Cooper
is the mastermind behind the agency who wants Bourne
in "a body bag by sundown."
The suspense is derived from the fact that we like
these characters, Jason and Marie, and want them to
survive. There are few special effects here, other
than car chases through the streets of Paris. The
movie relies more on good storytelling and empathy
with the characters.
Rated PG-13, but there is a lot of violence for that
rating. Grade B.
