Get Draft - Uniform Law Commission

The Uniform Law Commission drafts uniform laws for the states to consider and enact. A uniform act is one that seeks to establish the same law on a subject among the various jurisdictions. When the term “uniform” is used in the nation's laws, it is highly likely that the ULC drafted the act.

A uniform law does not become a binding statue until the state legislature has passed it. A uniform law becomes a binding statute in a state when the executive committee and the commissioners pass it.

State legislatures are urged to adopt uniform acts exactly as written to promote uniformity in law among the states. "Model" acts, in comparison, are intended to serve as guideline legislation which states can borrow from or adapt to suit their respective situations.

A model act, also called a model law or a piece of model legislation, is a suggested example for a law, drafted centrally to be disseminated and suggested for enactment in multiple independent legislatures.
