UPMIFA Update: More states adopting the uniform act

On Feb. 7 we blogged about UPMIFA, a new uniform act being adopted by state legislatures across the U.S.  Thirteen enactments took place the first year, four jurisdictions – District of Columbia, Kansas, Virginia, and West Virginia – have adopted UPMIFA already this session, and this week UPMIFA bills moved to the governors’ desks in Colorado, Georgia, and Iowa.  Bills remain in the legislatures in ten states.  The Uniform Law Commission has set up a website for UPMIFA, with up-to-date information on bill adoptions, a copy of the act, explanationory articles, and more.
