Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 10:00 am.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Isaiah 52:10: "The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."

Let us pray. Almighty God, You have called these women and men to serve in Your kingdom of this world. Help them to be strong in their making of laws. Guide them into all truths that You, O God are the master of all. Help us to yield to Your power. Protect and guard our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for and protect us. Bless our great Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. 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.

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.

MOTION ADOPTED

Rep. MCCRAVY moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of A. C. "Bubba" Fennell III, which was agreed to.

A. C. "BUBBA" FENNELL III

It is with great sadness that I ask we adjourn in memory of A.C. "Bubba" Fennell III of Greenwood. Bubba passed away December 19, 2019, at the age of 69. He was married to his wife, Jo Ann, for over 44 years. Bubba was a retired accountant from Elliott Davis, a University of South Carolina Trustee, and a recipient of the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award.

Bubba was well-respected in his accounting career at Elliott-Davis where he was a business partner prior to his retirement. He was actively involved in the community of Greenwood where he previously served as SC Festival of Flowers chairman, the Chamber of Commerce chairman as well as the former president of the Greenwood Kiwanis Club. He was a member of First Baptist Church, serving on numerous boards and was formerly a deacon.

Bubba made such a huge and lasting impact on his community that he was inducted into the Greenwood County Hall of Fame in 2016. He will be remembered, not only for his leadership and active involvement in Greenwood, but for his friendly personality and kind disposition. He will forever be remembered for his kind heart and noble character.

Rep. John R. McCravy III
