This bill would provide a substantial revision to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) by adopting the Uniform Commercial Code Amendments (2022), which includes a new UCC article that governs the transfer of property rights in certain intangible digital assets (controllable electronic records), including electronic rights to payment, and would provide for a manner to establish control of those assets, provide a mechanism for evidencing certain rights of payment, and adopt special rules with regard to the payment obligations and conditions of discharge of account debtors on controllable accounts and controllable payment obligations. This bill would provide extensive amendments to Article 9 of the UCC to address security interests in controllable electronic records and the rights to payment for those records, including controllable accounts and controllable payment intangibles, and that a security interest in these assets may be perfected by a secured party obtaining control of the asset or by filing a financing statement. This bill would also provide transitional provisions for the Uniform Commercial Code Amendments (2022). SB231 SB231 INTRODUCED INTRODUCED
