Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

It's a new Session; our workplace is different, but teach us, good Lord, that our mission is exactly the same: to serve best our gracious God, our beloved State and our expectant people. God of all ages and in every place, make straight our paths, keep open our ears to hear and heed Your voice. Undergird each one with Your strong right arm to make us strong and give to us all a wisdom greater than our own. Make us to remember that You are concerned about all that is said and done here. Keep us, then, a "people after God's own heart."

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.
