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 26:12: "My foot stands on level ground; in the great congregation I will bless the Lord."

Let us pray. Almighty God, give these women and men the courage to trust You and put their faith into action. With God's grace and goodness, help us to live gratefully and recount the deeds of the Lord. Give them the strength to endure the false teachings which surround us. Pull them together so good things may be done in Your name. Bless them as they go on their way home and keep them safe. We ask for our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and staff, that they be blessed with Your grace. Protect our first responders and defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our women and men as they suffer and sacrifice 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.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
