Executive Summary:
In the 1987 session, the General Assembly considered, but did not enact, three uniform acts: The Uniform Conservation Easement Act, Uniform Foreign Country Money Judgments Acts, and Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act. In the 1986 session, the Uniform Trade Secret Act and the Uniform Arbitration Act were enacted by the General Assembly.

Virginia has now enacted 37 uniform acts on the Conference "active list," including the most significant and important product of the Conference, the Uniform Commercial Code. The average number of acts on the "active list" enacted in all states is 32.
