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 Proverbs 19:23: "The fear of the Lord is life indeed; filled with it one rests secure and suffers no harm."
Let us pray. Gracious Lord, You have blessed us beyond measure. Keep us safely in Your care as we continue the duties and responsibilities presented to us. Thank You for Your care and protection through the perils of life. Bless us as we rest and relax over the weekend and restore our strength for continued service to You and to this State. Look in favor upon our Nation, State, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Bless our defenders of freedom at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds of our brave warriors, those seen and those hidden. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.
