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 36:9: "For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light."

Let us pray. Favor us, lord God, and send us Your light as these Representatives and staff strive to fulfil Your work for the people of this State. Keep them ever mindful that You are the light which lightens our pathway through life. Keep them safe as they travel home and as they return for another week of service. Bestow Your blessings upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who contribute to the success of this Session. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of those who have sacrificed for our freedom. 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.
