NO. 50
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2021
________
The House assembled at noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE, as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 94:17: "If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence."
Let us pray. Dear God, help us to see Your healing and saving work in our daily life. We thank You for feeding us with the food that sustains us in this life. Make these Representatives and Staff strong in their beliefs, and grant Your blessings upon each of them as they strive to do the right thing for the people of this State. Bless our first responders and defenders of freedom. Look in favor upon our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who serve in this vineyard. Remember those who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. 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 Friday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. FORREST moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Cayce Police Officer Drew Barr, which was agreed to.
I ask that when we adjourn today that we do so in memory of Officer Drew Barr who was killed in the line of duty Sunday morning.
His hometown was Batesburg-Leesville, and he was currently living in Monetta where he served as a volunteer fireman and EMT. He was the epitome of a public servant who selflessly gave back. He leaves behind his mother, father, and sister who will greatly miss him, and he will be missed by countless others whose lives he touched.
I asked that we take a moment to lift his family up in prayers.
The House stood in silent prayer for the family and friends of Cayce Police Officer Drew Barr.
The House stood in silent prayer for Representative Steve Moss.
The House stood in silent prayer for Representative Henegan's husband.
On motion of Rep. MAY, with unanimous consent, the following were taken up for immediate consideration and accepted:
