List of Uniform Acts

 
Law Encyclopedia: Uniform Acts
This entry contains information applicable to United States law only.

Laws that are designed to be adopted generally by all the states so that the law in one jurisdiction is the same as in another jurisdiction.

Uniform acts or laws are prepared and sponsored by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, whose members are experienced lawyers, judges, and professors of law generally appointed to the commission by state governors. Uniform acts or laws are adopted, in whole or substantially, by individual states at their option. Uniform laws are intended to promote fairness through the equal operation of standards upon the citizens of all states without distinction or discrimination. One uniform law, the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, is a comprehensive law that governs the use, sale, and distribution of drugs and narcotics in most states.

Non-NCCUSL model laws

Model Penal Code

The Model Penal Code, which seeks to harmonize state criminal law statutes, is in effect a uniform act but it was developed by the American Law Institute and not the NCCUSL.

Other model laws

The Uniform Auction and Auctioneer Licensing Act[1] (2006) is a sample law, proposed by the National Auctioneers Association, intended to be used by states as a template when drafting their own legislation governing auctions and auctioneers.[2]

Other notable non-NCCUSL model laws include the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, the Model Business Corporation Act, the Model Nonprofit Corporation Act and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration.
