________
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 Proverbs 27:19: "Just as water reflects the face so one human heart reflects another."
Let us pray. We give thanks to You, Almighty God, for the blessings You have given to us. Surround us with all knowledge and love and fill our hearts with the comfort of Your care for us. Hear the prayers of the people You called and elected as Your own that they may receive the fulfilment that the covenant promises. Protect our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of their time and creative ability to this great cause. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors as they suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

January 30, 2019
The Honorable James H. Lucas
Speaker of the House of Representatives
Post Office Box 11867
Columbia, South Carolina 29211
Dear Speaker Lucas,
By this letter, I am tendering my resignation from the SC House Tax Policy Review Committee.
It is with regret that I resign from the Committee; however, I find that my considerable standing committee obligations demand more of my attention. As you know, education and school issues are at the core of my legislative interests. I must focus on these commitments that I made to the people of my district.
I regret leaving the Committee because I feel that in my service over the last two years I have been a voice for the concerns of the lower income rural people of our State. Again, I must leave so that I may better focus on my core services.
In closing, I want to thank you for my appointment. I wish the rest of the Committee members good luck in addressing our significant tax concerns and issues.
Sincerely,
Joe H. Jefferson, Jr.
Received as information.
