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 Lamentations 3:56: "You heard my plea, do not close your ears to my cry for relief."
Let us pray. O Lord, our Lord, as we come to the close of another week, we give thanks for Your caring for us and giving us strength to do the work You have called us to do. Continue to care for Your people in these times of crisis and strain on our people and in our families. Give us faith that You will provide every needful thing for our existence. Give us a restful weekend and refresh us for a new week of service to You and Your people. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.
