How the Day Began

The House assembled at 10:00 AM, a prayer was offered and Rep. Paul Hatch (R - Carr 7) led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Presiding over the House during the day: Rep. Gene Chandler (R - Carr 1), Speaker of the House.

Excused for the Day

The journal records 30 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.
