House Resolution No. 35 is a formal document celebrating the 50th anniversary of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), an organization founded in 1975 through the merger of three groups representing state legislatures. The resolution acknowledges the NCSL's bipartisan efforts to enhance the effectiveness, independence, and integrity of legislative institutions, promote interstate communication and cooperation, and provide a unified voice for states within the federal system. It also highlights the organization's role in serving legislative members and staff across the United States, including offering professional development opportunities.
The resolution specifically notes the contributions of New Hampshire to the NCSL, mentioning that the state has provided two presidents to the organization and that its members and staff have been actively involved in various executive and standing committees, as well as staff associations under the NCSL. It emphasizes the importance of the NCSL to the New Hampshire House of Representatives and the legislative branch of government. The document concludes by formally recognizing and commending the NCSL as it enters its fiftieth year, with instructions for the Clerk of the House to prepare and transmit a suitable copy of the resolution to the NCSL.
