Uniform Laws Definition

An unofficial set of laws proposed for all states to adopt as written, for the purpose of their being more uniformity of laws from state to state. Uniform laws have been put forth by Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. Some of the uniform laws have been adopted by a few states only, after making minor or major changes, while others have been universally adopted, e.g. Uniform Child Custody and Jurisdiction Act; Uniform Power of Attorney Act; Uniform Anatomical Donations Act; and Uniform Arbitration Act.
