Uniform Laws are carefully drafted model laws for potential enactment by state legislatures. State legislatures can reject them, enact them in their entirety, enact only a few provisions, or enact the laws with minor modifications. One of the most famous examples is the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).
Model Acts and Model Codes are similar to Uniform Laws but may be proposed by any individual or organization including the American Bar Association, the American Law Institute, or the Uniform Law Commission (ULC). In comparison to Uniform Laws, Model Acts are generally used as a basis for designing state laws. They are rarely enacted exactly as written.
The laws themselves may be found for free from the ULC’s web site. They are also published as part of West’s Uniform Laws Annotated, or ULA (also discussed in a later section). They may also be found on HeinOnline (access available in the Law Library only).
