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 Psalm 30:11: "You have turned my mourning into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy."
Let us pray. Open my lips, O God, and my mouth shall sing forth Your praise. For all You have blessed us with, we are joyful and we give thanks for the bounty You provide us each day. As we end the work week, fill us with thanks and praise for the goodness we have enjoyed. Protect us and support us over the weekend, that we joyfully return to our work with a song in our hearts. For our leaders of Nation and State, we ask for Your blessings and peace to be with them. Comfort, bless, and protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear our prayer, O Lord. Amen.
