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 Isaiah 50:4: "The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher."
Let us pray. Lord God, You have called these women and men to be teachers to the people they serve. Give them the skill and motivation to take care of those they serve. Give these Representatives inspiration and protection and may You always be ready to provide what is needed. So, gracious God, make us both learners and teachers. Protect our defenders of freedom and first responders and keep them safe. Bless and keep our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who give of their time and talent to this State. Continue Your blessings on our men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

Charles Reid
Clerk of the House
Dear Mr. Reid,
I am notifying you that I will not participate in the Judicial Merit Selection Commission's joint election on February 2, 2022 regarding the vote on the re-election of the Honorable Courtney Clyburn Pope, Judge of the Circuit Court, Second Judicial Circuit, Seat 1. In accordance with Section 8-13-700 (A)-(B) of the SC Code, I recuse myself from voting on Judge Pope's re-election because of a potential conflict of interest due to an economic interest of myself, or my immediate family member. Please print my abstention in the House Journal for February 2, 2022.
Sincerely,
Representative William "Bill" Clyburn
District Number 82
I was temporarily out of the Chamber on constituent business during the vote on Circuit Court Judge, Second Judicial Circuit, Seat 1. If I had been present, I would have voted in favor of Judge Courtney Pope.
