Bill > SCR4020

This concurrent resolution recognizes and commends the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on its upcoming 50th anniversary in 2025, highlighting the organization's significant contributions to state governance. Founded in 1975 through the merger of three organizations, the NCSL is a bipartisan organization dedicated to serving state and territorial legislators and staff, with key objectives including advancing legislative effectiveness, fostering interstate communication, and ensuring a strong state voice in the federal system. The resolution emphasizes the NCSL's role in supporting state legislatures as "laboratories of democracy" by facilitating idea exchange, providing critical research, and encouraging rigorous examination of complex issues facing communities and states. The resolution specifically praises the NCSL for its leadership, commitment to the legislative institution, and efforts to strengthen connections between state legislatures and the international community. As part of the resolution's final provisions, the North Dakota Secretary of State is instructed to forward a copy of the resolution to the NCSL's Chief Executive Officer.
