My understanding is that this really affects business in each of the states... the fact that it is a Uniform Act means that there are certain provisions that would need to apply to the whole country, once every state has passed a similar law... so right now, if VA does pass it completely, it cannot be used to prosocute non-VA people, just the businesses that are in VA working with anyone anywhere....
When I saw that people on slashdot were saying the UCITA had passed in Virginia, I got scared, so I checked it out myself. I work here in VA, and of course such a bill would have direct impact on my job... By the way: UCITA HAS NOT PASSED IN VIRGINIA. It has only passed the State Senate, and not in the House of Reps. (in case you don't know...it must pass both before actually law) Several RESOLUTIONS were passed to further study the effects of what UCITA will be on this great Commonwealth, and to not pass the bill completely, but to give findings of the study by December 1st. So there is still time to fight this bill. If you live in VA please get in contact with your senator and delegate NOW! To actually see the bill and resolutions: Click Here.
