Indicates Matter Stricken

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 15:30: "The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and good news refreshes the body."
Let us pray. Almighty God, patient in love, abundant in mercy, create in us clean and right spirits. We praise You for Your trusting love. Spare us from the foolishness of selfishness. Overcome us with desire for Your will and way. We thank You for the talent and abilities You have provide these people. Bless them in their work. Look in favor upon our land and her leaders. Protect our defenders of freedom, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
