Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 554–554 (631 sections).

[S13, §3138-a2 – a5, -a7, -b1 – b4, -b7, -b8, -b52; C24, 27, 31, 35, 39, §8246 – 8249, 8253, 8254, 8297, 9662 – 9665, 9667, 9956, 9959, 10005; C46, 50, 54, 58, 62, §487.2 – 487.…

1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a document of title is negotiable if by its terms the goods are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named person.

2. A document of title other than the one described in subsection 1 is nonnegotiable. A bill of lading that states that the goods are consigned to a named person is not made negotiable by a provision that the goods are to be delivered only against an order in a record signed by the same or another named person.

3. A document of title is nonnegotiable if, at the time it is issued, the document has a conspicuous legend, however expressed, that it is nonnegotiable.
