The main goal is to keep the law of each state similar in areas where that similarity is important to being able to do business across multiple states. Outside of business, they sometimes tackle complex jurisdictional efforts where states would otherwise fight with each other based on their local social/public policy. An example would be the uniform child abduction act, which ensures if a parent who does not have sole custody takes a child across state lines, you don't get into a big fight over where the child should be based on social issues that differ between states. Not all states sign everything, but they get very good uptake on most laws. https://www.uniformlaws.org/home https://www.uniformlaws.org/home
