A more thorough explanation:

The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) is a non-profit organization made up of commissioners appointed by each state, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin Islands. The main goal of this organization is to discuss and debate which areas of the law require uniformity among the states and territories.

To achieve this goal, the NCCUSL drafts Uniform Acts that are proposed to the various jurisdictions as either model acts or uniform acts. Model acts, such as the Model Penal Code, are suggested laws that states can choose to adopt or modify as they see fit. Uniform acts, such as the Uniform Commercial Code, are laws that are adopted by states with little or no modification, ensuring consistency across state lines.

Some examples of NCCUSL uniform acts include:

• Uniform Commercial Code
• Uniform Probate Code
• Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act

These uniform acts illustrate the NCCUSL's mission to promote consistency in the law across state lines. For example, the Uniform Commercial Code provides a standardized set of rules for commercial transactions, making it easier for businesses to operate across state lines.
