How the Day Began

The House assembled at 10:00 AM, a prayer was offered.

Excused for the Day

Show the 25 members excusedRepublican 1

The journal records 25 members as having leave of the House for the day, that is, permission to be away. A member on leave may still have voted on part of the day, and the roll call record does not always agree with the journal about who was excused.
