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 121:3: "The Lord who keeps you will not slumber."
Let us pray. Loving and gracious God, help us to know the assurance of Your protection. We are grateful for all the blessings You provide for each of us. When we doubt, draw us back to You as our protector and give us the spirit to trust in You for Your loving care. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff and all those unrecognized people who strive to do the work assigned to them. 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.
