A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending the National Conference of State Legislatures; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the National Conference of State Legislatures was founded in 1975 and has evolved during the past quarter century to become the preeminent organization dedicated to serving state lawmakers and staff; and

WHEREAS, it was created 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, the National Conference of State Legislatures is a bipartisan organization and with three objectives: to improve the quality and effectiveness 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 the forum where the ideas of America are crafted, debated, and enacted, and the National Conference of State Legislatures has facilitated the exchange of ideas, provided critical research and information, and encouraged a rigorous review of the complex issues confronting our communities, states, and nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body recognize and commend the National Conference of State Legislatures for their superb leadership and their commitment to legislative effectiveness.
