The House assembled at 12:00 noon.

Our thought for today is from Proverbs 3:1-2: "My child, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments; for the length of days and years of life...."
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, help these Representatives speak from the depths of their hearts to You, from whom no secrets are hid. Lead them to greater deeds as they wrestle with the agenda before them. Give them Your guidance and let Your light shine on them. Bestow Your blessing and grace on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and staff, as they fulfill 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. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
