Abstract
The working drafts of both Articles 2 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) contain a number of provisions that differentiate between consumer and commercial transactions. However, differential treatment of consumers has caused controversy. Objections to the inclusion of consumer specific provisions were raised not only by the interested industries, but also by members of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) at its August 1995 meeting. Reports on the consumer issue were considered by both the Scope and Program Committee and the Executive Committee of NCCUSL at its 1996 Annual Meeting. The result of this consideration was 2 resolutions dealing with consumer issues. With respect to Article 2, the resolution to the position that there should be no lessening of consumer protection under the new revisions, that consumer provisions along the lines of those contained in the Article 2 drafts were appropriate, and that consumer provisions bracketed language making adoption by states optional. The Article 9 resolution called for continuing protection of consumers, stated that consumer provisions should not be bracketed, and asked the Drafting Committee to report back more fully on specific consumer issues over the coming year. Some of the underlying considerations are discussed.
