National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) is a non-profit, unincorporated association in the United States that consists of commissioners appointed by each state and territory. The purpose of the association is to discuss and debate in which areas of law there should be uniformity among the states and to draft acts accordingly. The results of these discussions are proposed to the states as either model acts or uniform acts. NCCUSL is best known for its work on the Uniform Commercial Code.
The first NCCUSL conference was held in 1892 when seven states sent commissioners to discuss and work toward uniformity in state laws. Every state had appointed commissioners to participate in the conference by 1912. The current Conference President is Howard J. Swibel, of Chicago, Illinois.
