Summary — SJ 10: Joint resolution honoring NCSL's 50th anniversary

Status: Filed with Secretary of State (May 5, 2025)
Introduced: January 8, 2025
Classification: Joint resolution
Subject: General joint resolution; Legislature
Related: Replaces LC 27

Purpose / Intent

SJ 10 is a ceremonial joint resolution that recognizes and honors the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Its intent is to formally acknowledge NCSL’s contributions to state legislatures — such as research, policy development, training, and intergovernmental coordination — and to express the legislature’s appreciation and support.

Key provisions (substantive effect)

  • Acknowledges NCSL’s 50 years of service and contributions to state legislatures.
  • Expresses appreciation for NCSL’s role in providing research, policy assistance, education, and forums for interstate collaboration.
  • Likely directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to NCSL leadership (common practice for honorary resolutions).
    Note: As a joint resolution of recognition, SJ 10 is ceremonial and declaratory in nature; it does not create legal obligations, change statutes, authorize spending, or alter government powers.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiary: NCSL (the organization being honored).
  • Indirectly: state legislators, legislative staff, and entities that work with or benefit from NCSL services — principally through increased public recognition and support for the organization’s work.
