8. The fragmenting tendency continues with the adoption of Article 2A on Leases and the proposal for an Article 2B on Licenses, now the Uniform Consumer Information Transactions Act, as independent statutes rather than elements of the rejected "hub-and-spoke" concept for a new Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.). See Linda J. Rusch, A History and Perspective of Revised Article 2: The Never Ending Saga of a Search for Balance, 52 SMU L. REV. 1683, 1686-87 (1999). The proposed statutes are available from the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (visited April 12, 2000) 〈http://www.law.upenn.edu/library/ulc/ulc.htm〉.
