Indicates New Matter

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 Psalm 26:2-3: "Prove me, O Lord, and try me, test my heart and mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in faithfulness to you."
Let us pray. Generous Creator, we gather in thanks, with hearts that overflow from the rich blessings that You provide. We are here to do the work of the people, who have entrusted us with representing their needs. Grant us the gifts necessary to carry out the awesome responsibilities conferred upon us. Bestow Your blessings and grace on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, this Assembly, and all who support their efforts here. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Hear us, O Lord. Amen.
