The resolution recognizes and commends the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its 50th anniversary in 2025. Founded in 1975, the NCSL has become the leading organization dedicated to serving state and territorial legislators and their staff. It emerged from the merger of three organizations that shared a commitment to legislative service as a vital aspect of democracy. The NCSL operates as a bipartisan entity with goals that 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 highlights the role of state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy," where diverse individuals collaborate to address emerging challenges. It acknowledges the NCSL's contributions in facilitating the exchange of ideas, providing essential research, and encouraging thorough examination of complex issues facing communities and states. The resolution concludes by expressing gratitude for the NCSL's leadership and commitment to the legislative institution, and it directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the NCSL's Chief Executive Officer.
