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 27:5: "May the power and mercy of God protect your in times of trouble and danger."

Let us pray. Almighty God, help us to see You at work in the World and to follow You above all else. Guide these Representatives and Staff as they do the work for the people of South Carolina. Bless them as they finish this week's work and return with new vigor for this weekend and the week ahead. Bless and keep our first responders and defenders of freedom who keep us safe. Bless and keep our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Bless those who suffer due to wounds, seen and unseen. Bless those who carry the heavy loads even those on the weekends. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

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