STATE COMMISSION ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS

Appointed by Governor to 4-year terms:
Steven N. Leitess, Esq., Chair, 2019

K. King Burnett, Esq., 2007; Anthony C. Wisniewski, Esq., 2023.

Life member: K. King Burnett, Esq.

The General Assembly, in 1896, established the Commissioners for the Promotion of Uniformity of Legislation in the United States (Chapter 264, Acts of 1896). In 1984, the Commissioners were renamed the State Commission on Uniform State Laws (Code State Government Article, secs. 9-201 through 9-206).

Every four years, the Governor appoints three Commissioners who represent Maryland in the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. The Commissioners serve on committees that draft laws for submission to state legislatures and recommend measures to promote uniform laws. Former State Commission members elected to life membership by the National Conference continue as members of the State Commission.
