Indicates Matter Stricken

Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 9:30 a.m.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Isaiah 41:9b: “You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off.”

Let us pray. Lord, bless these servants of the people as they discuss and debate the items on the budget which are of great importance for the citizens of this State. As chosen servants of the people, strengthen them with the best results from their thoughts and actions. Bless them during this day and keep them in Your care. For our leaders and staff, give them strength and wisdom as they work through this day. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
