Abstract

The 2010 amendments to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code will become effective in most states in 2013. The major change effected by the amendments relates to the name to be shown on a financing statement when the debtor is an individual. The national drafting committee could not agree on a single solution and left states to choose between an “Alternative A” and “Alternative B.” The committee of the Pennsylvania Bar Association that prepared the bill to enact the 2010 amendments in Pennsylvania voted narrowly in favor of Alternative A. Two of the dissenters wrote the following statement, which explains why Alternative A is a mistake.

Keywords: Uniform Commercial Code, Article 9, secured transactions, name
