Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Illinois

Re: Uniform law

There are several different uniform codes. Many of them have been adopted by less than 50 states. (Note that uniform does not mean universal.) Even states which do adopt them sometimes make changes.

Many states have adopted some universal codes while rejecting others. Additionally, some states have yet to consider some of the uniform codes.

Like other statutes, sections of various uniform codes are amended or replaced from time to time. Also, some sections are removed while others are added. These changes also take time to work their way through the various states -- some of which may choose to reject them.
