}The House assembled at 10:00 AM, a prayer was offered and Rep. Lawrence Kappler (R - Rock 3) 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.
The journal records 33 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.
