Senate called to order at 11:11 a.m. President Krolicki presiding.

Let us pray. Almighty God, Benevolent Creator, in Your loving plan, You created the world and all in it. With your care, You protect and guide all life in its journey through history and to its fullness. We graciously pray that those who have the responsibility in governing and protecting with just and prudent laws, foster a sense of well-being among the people in Nevada. May this Body legislate with sensitivity for the welfare and true needs of our people. Always influenced by a keen thirst for justice and rightness, may they appreciate the dignity and uniqueness of every person. May they have confidence in what is good and fitting, an eagerness and ability to work together in harmony even through honest disagreement. Strengthened by their collaboration and bonded by their camaraderie, may they support one another in the arduous and challenging moments of decision. Through Your gift of love, may they gain personal peace in their lives and joy in their tasks. We ask this in His Name. AMEN. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag led by Bishop Randolph R. Calvo, Roma

O Almighty God and Father, This day we come before You, thankful for the call of service to the people of Nevada, grateful to be servant leaders. Make us generous in response, sensitive in their needs, and open to their call for wise counsel, prudent discernment, and willing collaboration. In the days and months ahead in the legislature may we, through Your gracious wisdom, work to address the challenges of the state with equanimity and diplomatic solutions. In Your merciful care, may we appreciate the dignity of each person, the preciousness of each man and woman in Your image, that we may offer through our work and persistent labor a life of justice, equity, and peaceful coexistence and bring forth a true family of man in our state. In all we do, may we protect life at every moment, liberty, and the pursuit of true happiness as a goal and aim. This day we come before You as servant leaders of Your call and promise. May Your gracious blessings be upon us—of inner peace, accomplishment, and satisfaction. We ask this all in Your name
