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 Micah 7:7: "But as for me, I will look to the Lord, I will wait for the God of my salvation, my God will hear me."

Let us pray. Almighty God, with the beginning of another session, give us the courage to look to You, the guide of lives, to deliver the goodness that comes from Your hand. Do not forsake us in the times of trials and when things are not going in our favor. Direct our hand to do the work set before us. Grant us rest and a peaceful weekend and strengthen us for the week ahead. Sustain our National and State leaders, our Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds, seen and unseen, of our brave warriors. Hear us as we pray, O Lord. Amen.
