The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Isaiah 9:2: "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; on them light has shined."
Let us pray. Almighty God, we are grateful for the light of another day. Cause the light to shine on each and every person here. Bring them forth to enlighten those around them. For this, another day of serving the people of South Carolina let their light shine forth to all of these, Your people. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders. May Your light shine upon our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Give these Representatives strength and courage as they serve. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our men and women who 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 Friday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. WHITMIRE moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of James "Jim" McCoy, which was agreed to.
