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 112:10: "Their hearts are steady, they will not be afraid."
Let us pray. Lord God, help these Representatives to realize that You have not forgotten them, but will care for and protect them, giving them the strength, courage, wisdom, and integrity to accomplish that which they have been given. Hold them steady in their decision making. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who have labored to accomplish wonderful things. 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 who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
