Summary

CER25-0219, known as the National Conference of State Legislatures 50th Anniversary Ceremonial Recognition Resolution of 2024, is a resolution passed by the Council of the District of Columbia to honor the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) for its significant contributions to state legislative processes over the past fifty years. The resolution acknowledges NCSL's role in providing invaluable resources, facilitating the exchange of ideas, and fostering cooperation among state legislatures, which are seen as vital to democratic governance in the United States.
