The National Conference of State Legislatures is the bipartisan organization that serves the legislators and staffs of the states, commonwealths and territories.

NCSL provides research, technical assistance and opportunities for policymakers to exchange ideas on the most pressing state issues and is an effective and respected advocate for the interests of the states in the American federal system.

State legislatures and NCSL have thrived together since the organization’s inception in 1975.  Legislators and staff have depended upon NCSL as an objective and responsive source of research and information.
