(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Whereas, NCSL was established from the merger of three organizations that served or represented state legislatures and that shared the belief that legislative service is one of democracy's worthiest pursuits; and
Whereas, NCSL is a bipartisan organization with three objectives: to advance the effectiveness, independence and integrity of state legislatures; to foster interstate communication and cooperation; and to ensure states have a strong, cohesive voice in the federal system; and
Whereas, our nation's state legislatures are America's laboratories of democracy and have continually shown that they are the bodies to tackle emerging challenges; and
Whereas, state legislatures are where people from very different backgrounds, representing very different communities, can come together and find common ground; and
Whereas, for nearly fifty years, NCSL has facilitated the exchange of ideas, provided critical research and information and encouraged a rigorous review of complex issues confronting our communities, states and nation, and NCSL strives to strengthen the bonds between America's state legislatures and the international community.
Therefore
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring:
That the Members of the Legislature recognize the National Conference of State Legislatures for nearly fifty years of superb leadership and service and commend its many dedicated employees over the years for their commitment to the legislative institution.
