The resolution recognizes and commends the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) for its significant contributions to state and territorial legislatures since its founding in 1975. NCSL, a bipartisan organization, aims to enhance the effectiveness, independence, and integrity of state legislatures, promote interstate communication and cooperation, and ensure a strong voice for states within the federal system. The resolution highlights the role of state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy," where diverse representatives collaborate to address emerging challenges and find common ground.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges NCSL's efforts in facilitating the exchange of ideas, providing essential research, and promoting a thorough examination of complex issues affecting communities and states. It also emphasizes NCSL's commitment to strengthening relationships between American state legislatures and the international community. The House of Representatives of Washington State expresses its appreciation for NCSL's leadership and dedication to the legislative institution, directing that copies of the resolution be sent to NCSL.
