This site includes the text of the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as lists for about 40 uniform acts of links to state Web sites where the adopted versions are found. Most of the acts in this last series are based on statutes passed by one state, and are published so that the states can benefit from each others' experiences. Each act is preceded by a brief explanatory introduction and a citation to the enacted legislation on which it is based. A cumulative index in each volume covers acts published in the series during the preceding 20 years. Even when an issue is not the subject of a uniform or model act, state legislatures look to each other for inspiration on how to address matters of common concern.
Several sources make multistate research easier by reprinting state statutes on particular subjects.
Chief among these are some of the major loose-leaf services. Other compilations of state laws focus on narrower issues. A 1992 supplement to this publication provided a few more recent enactments, but no further updates have been published. Several of the Internet surveys discussed earlier in this chapter also provide the full text of relevant statutes. Both have databases with all 50 states' codes and session laws.
