A model act,also called a model law or a piece of model legislation,is a suggested example for a law,drafted centrally to be disseminated and suggested for enactment in multiple independent legislatures. The motivation classically has been the hope of fostering more legal uniformity among jurisdictions,and better practice in legislative wording,than would otherwise occur;another motivation sometimes has been lobbying disguised under such ideals. Model laws can be intended to be enacted verbatim,to be enacted after minor modification,or to serve more as general guides for the legislatures.
