Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation

The Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation represents Hawaii in the Uniform Law Commission (ULC), the national body that drafts model legislation for states to adopt in order to create consistent laws across state borders on commercial, family, and civil matters. Hawaii's commissioners participate in drafting uniform acts and recommend which uniform laws Hawaii should adopt. Recent uniform acts cover areas like electronic records, parentage, and commercial transactions.

Uniform laws adopted by Hawaii on the commission's recommendation affect how your legal documents, business contracts, and family law matters are treated when they involve parties in other states. Residents and attorneys can follow which uniform acts are pending adoption in Hawaii through สภานิติบัญญัติ.
