Indicates New Matter

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 Psalm 95:3: "For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods."

Let us pray. Dear God, who loves all that You create, give us that love to guide us each day. Bestow Your blessings on our defenders of freedom and first responders. May our love and speech be forever on our lips as they remember Your love for us. In Your wisdom, care for our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and give each of us Your grace to do Your will. Bless our men and women who suffer for our sake and for those with hidden wounds. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
