Its members serve as chairpersons or members of state legislative committees responsible for the regulation of gaming in their state legislative houses. The institution does not promote or oppose gaming but is primarily concerned with the regulation and economic and social impacts of the industry.

The NCLGS Foundation is the educational and research arm of NCLGS. The 501(c)(3) non-profit is a source of non-partisan data on issues of gaming legislation and regulation.
