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 40:1: "The psalmist wrote, 'I waited patiently for the Lord'."

Let us pray. Dear God, we are grateful that You are with us in our trials and tribulations, ready to grant us victory. Grant us faith and patience in times of struggle, and help us to find peace as we trust in You. Give Your people rest and strength to continue the work they are assigned to do. Bless those who govern us, give us the faith and trust in You to provide for each. Protect our defenders of freedom as they defend 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.
