HCR 13-RECOGNIZING NCSL ON 50TH ANNIVERSARY 3:06:24 PM CHAIR SHAW announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 13, Recognizing and commending the National Conference of State Legislatures on its 50th anniversary in 2025. 3:06:57 PM REPRESENTATIVE DAN SADDLER, Alaska State Legislature, as prime sponsor, presented HCR 13. He provided a sponsor statement, [included in the committee packet] which read as follows [original punctuation provided]: The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) was created in 1975 by seven state legislators and two staffers, who had a vision for a single, national non- partisan organization dedicated to supporting, defending and strengthening state legislatures. NCSL has since grown into the leading national institution for state legislatures. It serves all 50 states and the District of Columbia, providing elected officials and staff with policy research, training, technical assistance and collaboration opportunities. Every state legislator and staffer is automatically a member of NCSL, and has access to the organization's wide array of services and resources. Working from its Colorado headquarters and its satellite office in Washington D.C., NCSL works to strengthen the independence, effectiveness and integrity of legislatures, to foster interstate cooperation among legislatures, and to facilitate the exchange of information among legislatures, both within the U.S. and with state-level legislatures in other nations. NCSL further represents the interest of state legislatures in their relations with the federal government, most notably in support of state sovereignty, state flexibility and protection from unfunded federal mandates and unwarranted federal preemption. House Concurrent Resolution 13 commends the National Conference of State Legislatures for its 50 years of service to state legislators and staff. REPRESENTATIVE SADDLER explained that HCR 13 expresses the Alaska State Legislature's acknowledgement and celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). He explained that NCSL provides training for legislators and their staff members, fosters cooperation among state legislatures, and conducts policy research. He noted his participation in many conferences that have provided valuable perspectives. He said in 2023, 37 legislators and 89 legislative staff participated in NCSL events and training. 3:10:13 PM REPRESENTATIVE ALLARD asked if Representative Saddler is on the board of NCSL. REPRESENTATIVE SADDLER said he was recently named the Alaska representative to the executive committee of NCSL. REPRESENTATIVE ALLARD stated that she does not agree with NCSL and claimed that the organization is partisan. 3:10:54 PM The committee took an at-ease from 3:10 p.m. to 3:11 p.m. 3:11:18 PM REPRESENTATIVE STORY commented about her positive experiences utilizing NCSL's resources to conduct research about policies passed in other states. REPRESENTATIVE SADDLER mentioned that NCSL has performed research requests in 175 instances for Alaska legislators or staffers in the last three years. REPRESENTATIVE CARRICK commented that she has benefitted from NCSL's training content even when she has not agreed with it. She highlighted that NCSL contributes to legislative staff training. She recollected her previous role as a staffer and explained that she found the training offered to be extremely valuable. REPRESENTATIVE SADDLER emphasized the increased value of legislative staff through the work of NCSL. He said that NCSL is a good forum for Alaska legislators and staff to network with lawmakers from the Lower 48 and get new perspectives on Alaska's problems. He said that NCSL prides itself on being nonpartisan. 3:14:37 PM REPRESENTATIVE WRIGHT moved to report HCR 13 from committee, with individual recommendations and the attached fiscal notes. There being no objection, HCR 13 was reported from the House State Affairs Standing Committee.
