This is a guide to uniform and model acts promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, and currently recommended for enactment. It is prepared for the use of legislators, legislative drafting bureaus, commissioners, and others interested in state legislation.

Copies of these acts, with official prefatory notes and comments, are available. Most acts are also available at our Web site at the University of Pennsylvania: http://www.law.upenn.edu/bll/ulc/ulc_frame.htm.

For assistance with your legislative program, staff members in the Chicago office are available to help with the legislative effort in every state:

John McCabe, Legislative Director: (312) 915-5976
Katie Robinson, Communications Officer: (312) 915-5962
Michael R. Kerr, Deputy Legislative Director: (312) 915-0107
Michelle Clayton, Legislative Counsel: (312) 915-0278

John, Mike, and Michelle are available to provide assistance with testimony and hearings. They can find expert witnesses for committee hearings or other legislative discussions; draft written testimony for commissioners who might appear before committees; and attend the hearings to testify.

Katie Robinson is available to provide assistance with written materials. There are information kits on most of the acts, including factsheets and summaries. Katie can also provide press materials, such as op-eds, and help coordinate the distribution of written materials to committee members or other interested parties.

Of course, we are always “on call” to answer any questions you might have about any uniform or model act. Please let us know what we can do to help.
