How the Day Began

The House assembled at 10:00 AM, a prayer was offered and Rep. John Hikel (R - Hills 6) led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Presiding over the House during the day: Rep. Terie Norelli (D - Rock 26), Speaker of the House, and Rep. Linda Foster (D - Hills 4).

Excused for the Day

The journal records 29 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.
