The links listed below under the names of uniform laws and model acts (see what is the difference between a uniform act and a model  act) point to state-enacted versions of laws that the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) and a few special-interest groups have drafted and recommended for enactment by the states. (In some cases, not all of a state's enacted uniform laws are listed here even though they are available. Entries will be added as time permits.)
Whenever possible, a link here leads directly to the state-enacted version of the law in question (although sometimes it will be necessary to scroll down the displayed page, or do a browser search, so as to bring the law into view) or leads to a table-of-contents page having links to the sections (or larger parts) of the law in question.
However, some states' laws are presented on the internet in ways making it impossible to link directly to a given law. A link on the state name is given in such a case. The state statutes will be opened in a separate window (or tab), and then it will be necessary to navigate to the law in question. Moreover, because there is no feasible way to monitor changes in the laws of those states, it is possible that a citation reference given on this page could be inaccurate.

Names of laws are alphabetized by the first significant word, disregarding “uniform,” “model,” “state,” “multistate,” “act,” “law,” “code,” “rules,” and articles and prepositions.

Use this selection list to see a page of links to the uniform laws and model acts enacted in a particular state. (For some states, although the state statutes may be accessible on the internet, links have not yet been created on this site for the uniform laws.)

For whatever this may be worth . . . Nevada appears to have enacted more uniform laws than any other state, and most of those appear to reflect the recommended versions with few or no changes.

The NCCUSL provides a summary of on-going state legislative activity on uniform laws, which is organized by act and by state. The NCCUSL also provides lists of introductions and adoptions of uniform laws by each state (but with no links to laws). A site maintained by the University of Pennsylvania Law School has links to drafts of proposed uniform laws and model acts and proposed revisions of existing laws and acts.

What Are “Uniform” Acts and “Model” Acts

In the context of recommendations by the NCCUSL, an act will be designated as a “Uniform” act when (1) there is a substantial reason to anticipate enactment in a large number of jurisdictions and (2) uniformity of the provisions of the proposed enactment among the various jurisdictions is a principal objective. An act will be designated as a “Model” act if either (a) uniformity is a desirable objective but is not a principal objective, or (b) the act could promote uniformity and minimize diversity even though a significant number of jurisdictions might not adopt the act in its entirety, or (c) the purposes of the act can be substantially achieved even though it is not adopted in its entirety by every state. See NCCUSL, “Statement of Policy Establishing Criteria and Procedures for Designation and Consideration of Acts” (2001).

The difference was explained as follows by the Michigan Law Revision Commission (1997). “Unlike a Uniform Act, whose principal objective is to obtain immediate uniformity among the States on a particular legal subject, a Model Act may be more of an experimental effort to assist States in developing effective new approaches to a particular problem area of the law. A Model Act may contain more novel approaches, the efficacy of which can only be attained through some trial and error. Although uniformity may prove to be desirable at some point, it is not imperative in the short term.”

In practice, if a “Uniform” act fails to receive the expected support among state legislatures, the NCCUSL may relegate it, informally, to model-act status by simply referring to it as a “Model” act. See a list of acts on the NCCUSL web site, including certain acts now called model acts, which were adopted as uniform acts. See also Cal. L. Rev. Comm'n, “Mechanic's Liens: Issues and Other Approaches,” Memo. 2000-26, p. 14 (2000) (concluding that the Uniform Construction Lien Act was thus relegated to model-act status).

Organizations other than the NCCUSL have sponsored model acts, some of which are listed on this page. For instance, the Model Business Corporation Act was created under the aegis of the American Bar Association. Those model acts, like the NCCUSL-sponsored model acts, are recommended for the purpose of promoting the uniformity of state laws.

See also a collection of suggested state legislation maintained by the Council of State Governments.

  • Uniform Commercial Code  (1962) The NCCUSL web site states, “The Uniform Commerical Code is a joint product of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and the American Law Institute, and while our working drafts are freely available the final text and comments are copyrighted material not available on this site.” The LII web site at Cornell Law School provides the current text of the official version (Articles 1-through-9) (official comments are excised). The NCCUSL-sanctioned articles are:
    UCC art. 1 — General Provisions
    UCC art. 2 — Sales
    UCC art. 2A — Leases (1987, rev. 1990) [Legislative Activity]
    [UCC art. 2B] — [Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act]
    UCC art. 3 — Negotiable Instruments (rev. 1990) [Legislative Activity]
    UCC art. 4 — Bank Deposits and Collections (rev. 1990)
    UCC art. 4A — Funds Transfers (1989)

    A version of the UCC is in force in every state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Numbering of the state-enacted articles does not necessarily track the NCCUSL version. In addition, some states enacted Article 10 on matters such as the effective date, repeal of superseded statutes, and so forth. In the list below, discrete links to UCC articles (e.g., UCC–1) are provided when a table-of-contents listing for the state's version of the entire UCC would be cumbersome or impossible.

The 1991 version of this act is substantively the same as section 511 of the Uniform Act on Intestacy, Wills, and Donative Transfers and the same as section 2-511 of the Uniform Probate Code.

This act was developed jointly by the NCCUSL and the Uniform Law Conference of Canada, and it has been enacted in several provinces of Canada.

  • Uniform Trust Code  (2000, am. 2001, 2003, 2005)
    [NCCUSL Text] [Summary] [Legislative Activity] This act provides a comprehensive model for codifying the law on trusts. Where the UTC is in force, the following uniform acts could also be in force; these acts are regarded by the NCCUSL as not affected by the UTC:
    Uniform Common Trust Fund Act
    Uniform Custodial Trust Act
    Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act
    Uniform Principal and Income Act
    Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities Act
    Uniform Supervision of Trustees for Charitable Purposes Act
    Uniform Testamentary Additions to Trusts Act
    However, where the UTC is in force, the Uniform Prudent Investor Act should be codified as article 9 of the UTC. Also, the UTC does have a few provisions that overlap provisions of the Uniform Probate Code.
