The resolution recognizes and commends the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) for its leadership and commitment to the legislative institution as it approaches its fiftieth anniversary in 2025. Founded in 1975, NCSL has become the leading organization dedicated to serving state and territorial legislators and their staff, emerging from the merger of three organizations that valued legislative service as a vital aspect of democracy. The NCSL operates as a bipartisan entity with the goals of 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 important role of state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy" that address emerging challenges and foster collaboration among diverse communities. It acknowledges NCSL's contributions in facilitating the exchange of ideas, providing essential research, and promoting a thorough examination of complex issues facing states and the nation. Upon adoption, a copy of the resolution will be sent to NCSL by the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives.
