Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

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 32:7: "You are my hiding place, you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance."

Let us pray. Loving God, surround us with Your love and grace as these Representatives work for the people. You are our hiding place, for You protect us from trouble and comfort us when we are in need. When we cry out, You deliver us from evil. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of those who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. God of grace, hear our prayers. Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
