Is Your State Agency Using the UCR Logo?
Please Complete Our License Agreement
In order to protect the Unified Carrier Registration Plan’s intellectual property, the UCR Plan closely monitors the internet for cases of trademark infringement in an effort to ensure the UCR name and logo are used appropriately. Toward that end, the UCR Plan requests that all States using the UCR logo complete a simple license agreement to authorize your use of the UCR name and logo.

If your State uses (wants to use) the UCR Plan logo, please email aleath@legal.ucr.gov listing your proposed use of the logo and request a copy of the license agreement. Please return a signed copy of the signed license agreement to that same email address (aleath@legal.ucr.gov). Address any questions that you may have about the license agreement to that email address.
UCR Policy Spotlight: Unbudgeted Expense Reserve
In the event of an unplanned, non-discretionary expense, the UCR Board believes it prudent to develop an alternative means by which to fund the expense and avoid
insolvency. The Unbudgeted Expense Reserve Policy defines situations when an unbudgeted expense has occurred and is not discretionary or is unusual in nature, establishes an amount to initially provide funding
for the reserve, and establishes a means by which the reserve may be replenished if necessary.
View the Unbudgeted Expense Reserve Policy, as well as all of the policies and procedures adopted by the UCR Board of Directors, in the Policies & Procedures section of the UCR website.
