H.R. No. 1085
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The National Conference of State Legislatures is
celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding in 2025; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1975, the National Conference of
State Legislatures has evolved over the past half-century to become
the premier organization dedicated to serving state and territorial
legislators and legislative staff; it was created from the merger
of three organizations, each committed to the idea that legislative
service is one of democracy's worthiest pursuits; and
WHEREAS, NCSL is a bipartisan organization with the threefold
mission 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 at
the federal level; and
WHEREAS, Our nation's state legislatures are America's
laboratories of democracy, and they have continually shown that
they are the bodies best equipped to tackle emerging challenges
impacting their citizens; moreover, they serve as forums where
representatives from different backgrounds and communities can
come together and find common ground for the benefit of their
constituents; and
WHEREAS, 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 it has further worked to strengthen relations between America's
state legislatures and the international community; and
WHEREAS, For 50 years, the National Conference of State
Legislatures has empowered state lawmakers to advocate for their
interests and the interests of those they serve, and its members
have contributed greatly to the State of Texas through their
tireless work to maintain responsible and effective governance;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the 50th anniversary of the National
Conference of State Legislatures and commend the organization for
its outstanding leadership in supporting and advancing the role of
state legislatures; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for NCSL as an expression of high regard by the Texas House
of Representatives.
