How the Day Began

The House assembled at 10:00 AM, a prayer was offered and Rep. Lawrence Ross (R - Hills 3) led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Excused for the Day

Show the 44 members excusedRepublican 27Democrat 17

The journal records 44 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.
