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 Galatians 5:22: "But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Let us pray. Good and gracious God, we are grateful for Your spirit as You guide and sustain us in all things. We are especially thankful for the gifts of patience and self-control. May we use all Your gifts for the benefit of ourselves and our fellow workers and for the people whom we serve. Grant us, O Lord, Your blessings as you bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and all who serve 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.
