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 51:1-2: "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy, blot out my transgressions."

Let us pray. We are grateful, O Lord, that You have blessed us and cared for us during this week's Session. Continue Your mercy and steadfast love as we continue to serve the people in our care. In Your caring and compassion, give these people a relaxing and safe weekend. Return them, O Lord, next week for the work of serving the people. Bestow Your blessings upon our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who work in this Assembly. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

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