Founded in 1892, the Uniform Law Commission (also known as the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws) is a non-partisan association comprised of state commissions on uniform laws from each state, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Commissioners promote the principle of uniformity by drafting and proposing specific statutes in areas of the law where uniformity between the states is desirable. The Commissioners participate in drafting specific acts, deciding whether to recommend an act as a uniform or a model act, and work toward enactment of ULC acts in their home jurisdictions. The Mississippi Commission was formed by state statute and three of its Commissioners are appointed by the Governor of the State of Mississippi to serve a term concurrent with the Governor’s term in office.
