ABOUT NCCUSL

 

The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL), now in its 115th year, provides states with non-partisan, well-conceived and well-drafted legislation that brings clarity and stability to critical areas of state statutory law.

 

Conference members must be lawyers, qualified to practice law. They are practicing lawyers, judges, legislators and legislative staff and law professors, who have been appointed by state governments as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to research, draft and promote enactment of uniform state laws in areas of state law where uniformity is desirable and practical.

 

                     NCCUSL strengthens the federal system by providing rules and procedures that are consistent from state to state but that also reflect the diverse experience of the states.

 

                     NCCUSL statutes are representative of state experience, because the organization is made up of representatives from each state, appointed by state government.

 

                     NCCUSL keeps state law up-to-date by addressing important and timely legal issues.

 

                     NCCUSL’s efforts reduce the need for individuals and businesses to deal with different laws as they move and do business in different states.

 

                     NCCUSL’s work facilitates economic development and provides a legal platform for foreign entities to deal with U.S. citizens and businesses.

 

                     NCCUSL Commissioners donate thousands of hours of their time and legal and drafting expertise every year as a public service, and receive no salary or compensation for their work.

 

                     NCCUSL’s deliberative and uniquely open drafting process draws on the expertise of commissioners, but also utilizes input from legal experts, and advisors and observers representing the views of other legal organizations or interests that will be subject to the proposed laws.

 

                     NCCUSL is a state-supported organization that represents true value for the states, providing services that most states could not otherwise afford or duplicate.
