Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

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 Joel 38:41: "Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young cry to God and wander about for lack of food?"
Let us pray. Almighty God, when the world seems to be falling apart, help us to remember that You reign over all. Take care of those who labor long hours for the good of this State. Thank You for Your caring during this week and give us a restful and relaxed weekend so that we may return for another week of service refreshed. Continue Your blessings on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, this Honorable Assembly, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear our prayer. Amen.

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

At 10:00 a.m. the House in accordance with the ruling of the SPEAKER adjourned to meet at 12:00 noon, Tuesday, May 6.
