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 Psalm 112:7: "Their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord."
Let us pray. Lord God, source of all creation, increase our faith and trust in You, that we may feel secure in all of life, no matter what may come our way. May Your presence go with us and give us rest. Bless our Nation, State, and all our leaders, and all who support them in their duties. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.
