House Resolution No. recognizes and commends the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its fiftieth anniversary. Established in 1975 through the merger of three organizations, the NCSL has become the leading entity dedicated to serving state and territorial legislators and their staff. The resolution highlights the NCSL's bipartisan objectives, which include enhancing the effectiveness and integrity of state legislatures, promoting interstate communication, and ensuring a strong voice for states within the federal system.

The resolution emphasizes the vital role of state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy," where diverse individuals collaborate to address emerging challenges. It acknowledges the NCSL's contributions in facilitating idea exchange, providing essential research, and fostering cooperation among state legislatures and the international community. The House of Representatives expresses its appreciation for the NCSL's leadership and commitment to legislative institutions and directs the Chief Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to the NCSL upon its adoption.
