Indicates Matter Stricken
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 121:8: "The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore."
Let us pray. Walk with these Representatives and staff, O Lord God, our keeper. Be with these, Your own people, as they go and come today. We are made comfortable by the knowledge we are not alone, but You are with us always. Grant these Representatives and staff a safe homecoming. Give them rest as they prepare for another week of work. Be with our President, Nation, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who contribute to the success of this House. 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. 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 yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
