It highlights NCSL's evolution into a leading organization that serves state and territorial legislators and their staff, emphasizing its bipartisan mission to enhance the effectiveness, independence, and integrity of state legislatures. The resolution acknowledges the vital role of state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy," capable of addressing emerging challenges and fostering cooperation among diverse communities.

Furthermore, the resolution recognizes NCSL's contributions over the past five decades in facilitating the exchange of ideas, providing essential research, and strengthening relationships between state legislatures and the international community. It commends the organization for empowering state lawmakers to advocate for their constituents and expresses appreciation for the significant impact its members have had on the State of Texas. The Texas House of Representatives resolves to officially commemorate this milestone and prepare a copy of the resolution for NCSL as a gesture of respect and recognition.
