Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

We thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your providential care that has watched over each of us while absent from this place. And as we begin another week of service here, keep us a people mindful of Your favor and glad to do Your will. May no task be so trivial, no work so insignificant, as not to be done with our best. And as we leave this altar of prayer, may the time of work and the time of prayer be woven into one fabric. So guard our thoughts, control our speech, direct our actions.

Hear both our spoken and unuttered prayers of our hearts and answer them according to Your perfect wisdom. Amen.

This fund must be established as a separate and distinct account in the Office of the State Treasurer.

(B)     A person seeking reimbursement under the Probate Relief Fund shall file with court administration which shall determine if the person's loss resulted from theft or fraud perpetuated within the Probate Court by a Probate Court Judge or by Probate Court personnel.

(E)     If claims are owed and there are insufficient monies in the fund, the fund shall receive transferred funds from the State Treasurer for payment of these claims.

(F)     Court Administration shall adopt rules addressing procedures for filing and resolving claims under the Probate Relief Fund, including, but not limited to, criteria for recovery under the fund which must provide that, in order to collect from the fund, it is likely that the claimant has no other reasonably attained remedy at law.

(G)     The assessment on estates opened in probate court as provided for in Section 8-21-820 must be terminated and the fund abolished after no claim has been filed for twenty-four consecutive months and all funds borrowed from the State Treasurer have been repaid.

(H)     This section takes effect July 1, 1995, and applies to claims arising before July 1, 1995, which are filed within the statute of limitations provided for in Section 14-23-1160 of the 1976 Code."/
