The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Brodeur, recognizes and commends the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its 50th anniversary in 2025. Founded in 1975, the NCSL has grown to become the leading organization dedicated to serving state and territorial legislators and their staff. It emerged from the merger of three organizations that valued legislative service as a vital aspect of democracy. The NCSL operates as a bipartisan entity with the goals of enhancing the effectiveness, independence, and integrity of state legislatures, promoting interstate communication and cooperation, and ensuring a unified voice for states at the federal level.

The resolution highlights the role of state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy," where diverse representatives collaborate to find common ground. The NCSL plays a crucial role in facilitating the exchange of ideas, providing essential research and information, and addressing complex issues facing communities and the nation. In recognition of its leadership and commitment to the legislative institution, the Florida Senate resolves to honor the NCSL and will present a copy of the resolution, along with the Senate's seal, as a token of appreciation.
