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

Our thought for today is from 2 Chronicles 33:13: "He prayed to him, and God received his entreaty, heard his plea, and restored him."
Let us pray. Lord God, thank You for hearing our earnest prayers. As we put our trust in You to guide us through the perils of life, so lead us to be unselfish in our thinking and actions. Provide us with the generosity to help others in need. Sometimes we get wrapped up in things we are doing wrong, so that it takes something earthshaking to get our attention. Show us Your hand in helping us. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and this Honorable Assembly. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. In the name of our Lord. Amen.
