Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, which governs security interests in transactions secured by personal property, is currently undergoing its first revision since 1998. The 2010 Amendments to Article 9 (the “2010 Amendments”), which are the result of a joint effort by the Uniform Law Commission and the American Law Institute, were drafted to address filing issues and other matters that have arisen since the substantial overhaul of Article 9 in 1998. The following is a summary of a few of the key provisions of the 2010 Amendments.
