The House assembled at 1:00 p.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Matthew 6:13: "And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil."

Let us pray. Almighty God, merciful and caring, remember Your people as we go through these days and weeks of anguish and aversion of the evil one that has invaded our world. Lord, we thank You for those who are working to find a cure and for our President, Governor, and staff who have used their ability and talent to reach out to those who are giving of themselves to find a cure. Comfort those suffering and keep us safe as we go about the duties required of us all. Provide for us every needful thing so that what is done for the people of this world will be blessed. Hold us in Your care as we try and navigate through this evil virus. Remember and bless those who continue to work for a cure. In this and whatever else we need, grant us Your favor. 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 Wednesday, March 11, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
