List of Uniform Acts (United States)
Online advertising
In the
United States , a
Uniform Act is an act proposed by the
Uniform Law Commissioners , more formally known as the
National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL), a body of
lawyers and other professionals who work for the standardisation of
U.S. state law s. The NCCUSL does not have any legislative power and to give legal effect to any uniform act requires the approval of state legislatures. In some cases, such as the
Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act , this has proven difficult to obtain.
The existence of uniform acts results in large part from
the nature of the American federal system. The United States Congress does not have authority under the Constitution to legislate many issues leaving many powers to state governments. At the same time, there is a desire to have consistent laws across the states.
Some legal scholars have argued that the existence and
codification of Uniform acts, most notably the
Uniform Commercial Code has given American law less of a
common law flavor and made it more similar to a
civil law system.
This is a list of all the Uniform Acts or proposed Uniform Acts.

The
Uniform Rights of the Terminally Ill Act (U.S.) has the (U.S.) disambiguation because of the
Rights of the Terminally Ill Act (Australia) . The names of the laws are not identical, but are close enough to warrant the disambig. --

I added (1992) and (1996) to the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act (2001) because there were three iterations of UIFSA. A few minutes ago, I'd changed the list of uniform acts to have separate entries for UIFSA ’96 and UIFSA ’01 because sometime over the next few
weeks months I was going to add an article about UIFSA '96 as it's the version enacted in most USA states pursuant to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. Later, I was going to add a little more about UIFSA '01, which contained some fixes to the '96 version. I wasn't going to do anything about UIFSA '92. On reflection, I decided the UIFSA article should deal with all three. I’ll probably build the article in stages. --User:Tregonsee 11:15, 19 February 2005 (UTC)
Actually, since I'm a lawyer, and the primary page has so many links to non-existant articles, I may be able to contribute some wikiservice, as a long-term (we're talkin' ''years in the making'') project.--User:Tregonsee 16:10, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
