How the Day Began

The House assembled at 10:00 AM, a prayer was offered and Rep. Elisabeth Sanders (R - Rock 12) led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Presiding over the House during the day: Rep. Terie Norelli (D - Rock 26), Speaker of the House, and Rep. Naida Kaen (D - Straf 5), Deputy Speaker of the House.

Excused for the Day

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.
