The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 33:11: "The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations."
Let us pray. Almighty God, we are thankful You are the guiding light of our life. Your counsel leads us into areas unknown to us, but by Your gift, You give these women and men the tools to accomplish great things. As You have led Your people throughout generations, so lead our people to do the right things for this State. Let Your favor rest on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who contribute to the success of this Country and State. 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.
