Offered by Senators Brinks, McMorrow and Singh
A RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF STATE LEGISLATURES (NCSL) ON
ITS UPCOMING 50TH ANNIVERSARY
WHEREAS, The National Conference of State Legislatures was founded in 1975 and has evolved during the past half-century to become the premier organization solely dedicated to serving state and territorial legislators and legislative staff; and
WHEREAS, It was created from the merger of three organizations that served or represented state legislatures and 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 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. State legislatures are where people from very different backgrounds, representing very different communities, can come together and find common ground, and NCSL has helped facilitate this exchange of ideas, provided critical research and information, and encouraged a rigorous review of complex issues confronting our communities, states, and nation; and
WHEREAS, NCSL strives to strengthen the bonds between America’s state legislatures and the international community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the members of this legislative body recognize and commend the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its upcoming 50th Anniversary. We also take this time to honor NCSL for their superb leadership and commitment to the legislative institution; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the National Conference of State Legislatures as evidence of our highest esteem.
Adopted by the Senate, March 5, 2024.
Secretary of the Senate
