ABA Approves Four Uniform Acts

by on

Press release: “Four uniform acts, dealing with issues ranging from the revision of established rules governing anatomical gifts to a new law that should help prevent the abduction of children during custody proceedings, were approved today by the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates at its Midyear Meeting in Miami, Florida, Feb. 7-13. Each uniform act was drafted and approved by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) in 2006.”

  • “The new Uniform Anatomical Gift Act updates the act (which was originally promulgated in 1968 and adopted in every state, then again revised in 1987) in light of changes in federal law and related developments in the field of organ donation.
  • “The Uniform Child Abduction Prevention Act provides courts with guidelines to follow during custody disputes and divorce proceedings, to help courts identify children at risk for abduction, and to provide methods to prevent that abduction.”
  • “The Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act, like its predecessor, the Uniform Management of Institutional Funds Act, provides statutory guidelines for management, investment, and expenditures of funds held by charitable institutions.”
  • The Uniform Power of Attorney Act provides a simple way for people to deal with their property by providing a power of attorney that survives the incapacity of the principal and thus avoids the need to bring expensive and time-consuming guardianship or conservatorship actions to care for assets.
