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 acknowledges NCSL's efforts in facilitating idea exchange and providing essential research on complex issues.

Furthermore, the resolution authorizes the Secretary of the Senate of Washington to transmit a copy of this commendation to NCSL, emphasizing the organization's leadership and commitment to legislative institutions. This recognition reflects the importance of NCSL in supporting state legislatures and fostering collaboration among them, ultimately contributing to the democratic process in the United States.
