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 Zechariah 8:8: "The Lord says, 'they shall be my people and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness'."

Let us pray. Loving God, thank You for caring for us and providing for us every needful thing. Continue to come to these, Your people, and accept their faithfulness which comes from You, as they do the work of the people. Grant them safe travel and a restful weekend. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom 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.
