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 Proverbs 27:10: "Do not forsake your friend and the friend of your father."
Let us pray. O Lord, may we ever be mindful of friendships and how we can help each other in times of need. Grant us the good sense to be helpful to those we work with each day. Give us a restful weekend and the energy to begin another week of service to those around us. Bless 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 us as we pray. Amen.

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