HD5 - Uniform State Laws
Executive Summary: July 1, 1981 - June 30, 1982 Virginia has adopted twenty-seven uniform acts promulgated by the National Conference. Among them are the Uniform Commercial Code, Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, Reciprocal Enforcement and Support Act, Anatomical Gift Act, Partnership and Limited Partnership Act, and Gift to Minors Act. Other conference proposals have been used in part in Virginia enactments or proposed bills. The past session of the General Assembly adopted the Uniform Disposition of Community Property Rights at Death Act and the ULC Model Real Estate Cooperative Act. The Commissioners from various states include practicing attorneys, law professors, state legislators, and state and federal judges. All Commissioners serve without compensation, with reimbursement of their expenses only. The process by which uniform acts are developed is thorough, involving frequent meetings of the drafting committee, oversight by review committees, consideration line by line by the entire conference at least twice, and a vote by the states; and consideration and approval of the ABA House of Delegates. |
