REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2023

The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Romans 12:9: "Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good."
Let us pray. Creator of all, as the sun rises to provide light for another day, we give You thanks. We thank You for the opportunity to begin this day. Have mercy on us and grant us Your grace. Protect us from anything that may cause us to stumble. Guide these women and men to do the right thing for the right reason. Look in favor upon our first responders and defenders of freedom. Let Your light shine on our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Remember those who suffer from hidden wounds. 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 PRO TEMPORE.
