The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr. as follows:

Our thought for the day is from Psalms 18:1: "I love you, O Lord, my strength."
Let us pray. Dear Lord, help us to trust that in Your wisdom, You know our true needs and troubles. Be present with us as we do the work for the good of all people. Help us in our work with each other that each has much to contribute to the work of this State and her people. Hear our prayer. Amen.
