(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter


The House assembled at 2:00 P.M.

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


O God, our Heavenly Father, we bow in Your holy presence to acknowledge Your sovereign power and to express our need of Your support. Endure with Your wisdom our fallible minds. Give us statures to match the demands of the days in which our lots are cast. Distill upon our restless spirits the dews of patience and tranquility, that in simple trust and deeper reverence we may be found steadfast, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in Him and for Him and with Him our labors are not in vain. Cleanse our thoughts by Your teachings, feed our minds with Your truths, guide our feet in paths of righteousness.

Hear us, Good Lord, in this our humble 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.

MOTION ADOPTED
