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 3:57: "You came near when I called on you; You said, 'Do not fear.'"
Let us pray. As we come to the end of another work week, help us to reflect on the goodness You have provided for each of us by Your loving kindness and compassion. Grant us a restful weekend and fill us, O God, with the energy and gladness of Your love, to prepare us for another week of service to the people of this State. Look in favor upon our leaders. Keep them mindful of their duties and responsibilities to those they serve. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds of our brave warriors, those seen and those hidden. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.
