Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 46-10-101 to 46-9-809 (630 sections).

(a) When security interest not invalid or fraudulent. A security interest is not invalid or fraudulent against creditors solely because:

(1) The debtor has the right or ability to:

(A) Use, commingle or dispose of all or part of the collateral, including returned or repossessed goods;

(B) Collect, compromise, enforce or otherwise deal with collateral;

(C) Accept the return of collateral or make repossessions; or

(D) Use, commingle or dispose of proceeds; or

(2) The secured party fails to require the debtor to account for proceeds or replace collateral.

(b) Requirements of possession not relaxed. This section does not relax the requirements of possession if attachment, perfection or enforcement of a security interest depends upon possession of the collateral by the secured party.
