South Carolina General Assembly
119th Session, 2011-2012
Journal of the House of Representatives

Tuesday, March 6, 2012
(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Habakkuk 3:2: from the Prophet's Prayer, "O Lord, I have heard of your renown, and I stand in awe, O Lord, of your work. In our own time, revive it; in our own time, make it known; in wrath, may you remember mercy."
Let us pray. Mighty Lord, we thank You for Your presence in our lives and for Your work among Your people. In our time, give us those things that are needful, that we may use them for the good of all. Bestow Your blessing on these Representatives and staff. Remember them in Your mercy. Bless our Nation, all leaders in this Assembly, and all who support them. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of Friday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
