We are the nation’s most respected bipartisan organization providing states support, ideas, connections and a strong voice on Capitol Hill.

We’ve fought against unwarranted actions in Congress and saved states more than $1 billion. NCSL is committed to the success of all legislators and staff. Our mission is to: Improve the quality and effectiveness of state legislatures; Promote policy innovation and communication among state legislatures; and Ensure state legislatures a strong, cohesive voice in the federal system.
