Declinees
The first seven states to hear the UCAPA legislation passed the law with unanimous votes. The UCAPA legislation has failed in most states since the Louisiana review in 2007.
The most significant declination was in New Jersey because they wrote a report detailing why the legislation was Unconstitutional. The New Jersey law commission was reviewing the UCAPA legislation. Their New Jersey Law Commission was recommending that the law be presented to their legislature for passage and had placed their recommendation on the Internet for public comment. LaDads saw this request and provided them the concerns that they had raised in Louisiana. The New Jersey law commission then issued a report (2008, see link below) highlighting the issues that were raised that they were most concerned with. After a full review, they then issued a final report summarizing the serious issues with this legislation. They declined to recommend this legislation to their legislature.
Since Louisiana, the UCAPA law has only passed in states that were not informed of the Louisiana and New Jersey reports.
